Heinrich Lefler (7 November 1863, Vienna – 17 March 1919, Vienna) was an Austrian painter, graphic artist and stage designer. His father was the painter, Franz Lefler .
From 1880 to 1884, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna under Christian Griepenkerl and, from 1884, at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich under Nikolaus Gysis and Wilhelm von Diez. In 1891, he became a member of the Society of Austrian Artists and, in 1900, was a founding member of the Hagenbund. From 1900 to 1903, he was an assistant to Anton Brioschi, the head designer at the Vienna State Opera, following which he became a professor at the Academy until 1910. While at the Vienna Opera, he designed a set for the Metropolitan Opera and shipped the pieces to New York.
Besides the
time spent in his formal occupations, he spent a great deal of time in Weißenbach
an der Triesting with his father and his brother-in-law, Joseph Urban, a fellow
scenic designer, where they painted murals on villas and hotels, designed
invitation cards for summer festivals and, with librettist Camillo Walzel,
staged theatrical productions for children.
Die farbigen Bilder wurden von Lefler geschaffen, während die dekorativen Rahmen um die Lieder von Urban gezeichnet wurden. Wir zeigen einige der Rahmen, jedoch wurden die gleichen Dekorationen oft für verschiedene Lieder verwendet.
