 By around 1928 Walde had finally found his own characteristic style, one that gave expression to both the Tyrolean mountain scenery – particularly the living winter landscapes – and its robust people through the use of highly reduced drawings and pastel colouring.Throughout the rest of his artistic career his work stayed with the subject of his homeland, and retained the same distinct native style.Alfons Walde died of heart failure on 11 December 1958 in Kitzbühel.
