Hans Stangl (1923–2008) was an Austrian sculptor and visual artist known for his expressive figurative works and contributions to postwar Austrian art. Born in Vienna, Stangl studied at the Academy of Fine Arts under Fritz Wotruba, whose influence can be seen in his strong sense of form and structure. His sculptures often explored the human figure in abstracted, dynamic compositions, blending modernist reduction with emotional depth. Over his career, Stangl exhibited widely across Austria and Europe, earning recognition for his refined craftsmanship and sensitivity to material. His works remain part of several public and private collections, reflecting his lasting impact on 20th-century Austrian sculpture.
