Ferdinand Stransky attended the restoration school at the Vienna Academy from 1919 to 1923 and studied under Serafin Maurer, who, however, did not think much of his student’s enthusiasm for Oskar Kokoschka. From then on, Stransky taught himself to paint. After completing his studies, he worked as a restorer, whilst also selling his own work. On the recommendation of the sculptor Georg Ehrlich, he was accepted into the Hagenbund in 1937. After the war, he became a member of the Secession and was one of the founders of the artists’ group ‘Der Kreis’. He earned his living as a restorer for the St. Lucas Gallery, but also gained increasing recognition as an independent painter. Supported by the art historians Otto Benesch, Fritz Novotny and Hans Aurenhammer, he took part in the biennials in São Paulo and Tokyo and was awarded the Theodor Körner Prize in 1958 and the Lower Austria State Art Prize in 1964.
