For Julie ♥ Happy Birthday !!!✿    / kistodreams   Heinrich Lefler and Joseph Urban - Austrian Secession Heinrich Lefler - Wien, 7 November 1863 - † 17 March 1919 Joseph Urban - Wien, 26 Mai 1872 - † New York, 10 July 1933 Heinrich Lefler (1863-1919) and Joseph Urban (1872-1933) are Austrian artists associated with the Golden Age of Illustration - they are particularly linked with the Jungendstil movement (the German variant of Art Nouveau). Lefler and Urban were brothers-in-law and often worked in collaboration. The pair founded in 1900 the Hagenbund - an exhibiting society similar to the Secessionists. Lefler was a painter and Urban was skilled as an architect, book illustrator, exhibit designer, interior decorator and set designer. Heinrich Lefler studied from 1880 to 1884 at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. In 1891 he became a member of the Society of Austrian Artists and from 1900 to 1903 was - under the direction of Gustav Mahler -- chief designer at the Vienna Court Opera. From 1903 to 1910 he held a professorship at the Academy of Fine Arts (this professorship was awarded to him leaving out Richard Klimt, who also applied for it) and at the same time was chief designer at the Burgtheater. Lefler and Urban, in addition to designs for more than 20 theatrical productions, including the stage sets for the production of Wagner operas at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, collaborated also on a number of illustrated books, mostly children ones. Soon after the publication of "Andersen Kalender" (and "Csoda Album" - including images from "Andersen Kalender" - in Hungary) in 1911, Urban emigrated to the United States where he established a reputation in set design for such productions as the Boston Opera Company, the Ziegfield Follies and the Metropolitan Opera. At one time, he was Art Director for William Randolph Hearst's Cosmopolitan Studios. He also created landmark architecture, including the Paramount Theatre Building, Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida and the New School and Hearst Magazine Building in New York.
