Andreas Harsch realised his love of painting at an early age when, at the age of twelve, he saw the work of his brother’s godmother, who was a student at the Kunstgewerbeschule. He attended the woodworking school in Wallern, specialising in wood carving, and graduated at the top of his class after four years. As Harsch grew up in poor circumstances, he had to finance his studies at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts and later at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna himself. In 1914, he was called up as a cadet. During the war years, he was wounded twice and lost his parents. After the war, Harsch completed his studies and, in November 1919, opened his own painting studio in Vienna’s 19th district. In the post-war period, he produced portraits, figure compositions, landscapes, still lifes, line drawings, colour woodcuts and sculptures, as well as ornamental designs for gravestones. This versatility brought him success. In 1919, Harsch exhibited at the Künstlerausstellung and attracted attention with his life-size work ‘Frühling’ (Spring). Following this, he was represented at the Secession with a number of works. In 1935, following numerous awards and scholarships, he was awarded the Ehrenpreis der Stadt Wien (Honorary Prize of the City of Vienna). As an established artist in Vienna, Harsch was also involved in public monument projects alongside his painting. Other artists and styles: Landscape, Realism
