Felix Albrecht Harta né Felix Hirsch (July 2, 1884 – November 27, 1967) was an Austrian portrait and landscape painter and graphic artist. He was a central figure in Austrian Expressionism as evidenced by his inclusion in such exhibitions "Faistauer, Schiele, Harta & Co: Malerei verbindet" (Faistauer, Schiele, Harta & Co: Painting Unites Us), curated jointly by Vienna's Österreichische Galerie Belvedere and the Salzburg Museum in 2019.[1]
Harta was born in Budapest, the son of Theresia and Moritz Hirsch, but changed his surname later in life. He grew up in Vienna where he studied architecture at the Technische Hochschule. In 1905, he went to Munich and switched to painting, studying under Hugo von Habermann. Several years of copying old masters and study trips to Belgium, France, Italy, and Spain followed, with his first exhibition in 1908 at the Salon d'Automne in Paris. He returned to Vienna and served in World War I, after which he lived in Salzburg. He exhibited and received honors in many European cities and lived and taught in England from 1939 to 1950. He returned to Salzburg in his final years.[2], [3]
