Artist Biography

He worked for various advertising companies in Vienna and Munich and moved to Weidling with his wife. In 1914 he became a member of the Association of Local Artists Klosterneuburg. Feiertag's work includes landscapes and cityscapes. His postcards with children's motifs, animal motifs, puppets, and teddy bears were hugely popular.
