Artist Biography
Karl Feiertag (c.1874-1944) was an Austrian painter. He studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna with Franz Rumpler, Kasimir Pochwalski, and Josef Mathias Trenkwald. 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. For the Viennese art postcard publisher Brothers Kohn, he created a series with views and scenes on board the Trieste Austro-Americana ship Martha Washington. He also designed children's coloring books.
