## Georg Arnold-Graboné, painter
The best-documented bearer of the name is the German landscape painter Georg Arnold, who signed his works Arnold-Graboné and lived from 1896 to 1982[2](https://sztuka.agraart.pl/auction/142/26-03-2006/8164/arnold-georg-w-gorach?obtained-price=base). He began as a self-taught painter and from 1922 studied at the academies in [Stuttgart](https://www.edgepedia.org/stuttgart) and Munich, under Heinrich Zügel in Munich and under [Max Liebermann](https://www.edgepedia.org/max-liebermann) and H. König in Berlin, and then in Vienna and Paris[2](https://sztuka.agraart.pl/auction/142/26-03-2006/8164/arnold-georg-w-gorach?obtained-price=base).
His debut exhibition in Vienna brought him a gold medal for a view of the Hardangerfjord[2](https://sztuka.agraart.pl/auction/142/26-03-2006/8164/arnold-georg-w-gorach?obtained-price=base). In 1930 he became a professor of painting at the academy in Zurich, returned to Germany in 1933, and settled successively in Fürstenfeldbruck, from 1937 in Tutzing, and from 1952 in Buchhof on Lake Starnberg[2](https://sztuka.agraart.pl/auction/142/26-03-2006/8164/arnold-georg-w-gorach?obtained-price=base).
**Subject matter and technique.** He painted almost exclusively landscapes of the Alps, lakes, and the sea, along with views from his travels, including street scenes in Cairo, an old mill on the Arno, and shores of Capri[2](https://sztuka.agraart.pl/auction/142/26-03-2006/8164/arnold-georg-w-gorach?obtained-price=base). He applied paint thickly with a palette knife, a technique noted on the reverse labels of his canvases, such as "Spachtel in Öl" (palette knife in oil) on a bathing lake at the [Zugspitze](https://www.edgepedia.org/zugspitze)[5](https://www.barnebys.de/auktionen/objekte/grabone-georg-arnold-auch-arnold-grabone-1896-1982-badesee-an-sXYQ6Mw-623179632). His works appear regularly at auction; a 70 × 81 cm oil, *W Górach* (In the Mountains), sold for 6,000 złoty against a starting price of 4,000 złoty in March 2006[2](https://sztuka.agraart.pl/auction/142/26-03-2006/8164/arnold-georg-w-gorach?obtained-price=base), and MutualArt records 425 auction results for the artist[6](https://www.mutualart.com/Artist/Georg-Arnold-Grabone/2E380FD75E590A55).

## The Georg-Arnhold-Bad, Dresden
The swimming complex in Dresden carries a variant spelling of the name. Operated by Dresdner Bäder GmbH next to the Großer Garten, it was extensively renovated with completion in the summer of 2017, adding barrier-free access and a new sauna area; the hall contains a 250 m² adventure pool, a 25-meter swimming pool, and a tube slide, and the outdoor area has a four-season pool with a current channel[8](https://www.outdooractive.com/en/poi/dresden-elbland/georg-arnhold-bad/8778906/). A 1955 postcard of the pool, addressed at Helmut-Schön-Allee 2, shows the diving tower of the earlier open-air facility[9](https://www.traumfaehrte.de/core.php?buyit=&c=82&cdistrict=370136&city=370132&district=370131&do=show&id=13353&l=de&p=postcards&place=370132068®ion=0&s=37&state=37013).
