Schwarz received his professional training as a theater painter at the teaching institute of the Kunstgewerbemuseum Berlin . Initially he worked in an equipment company, the art workshops 'Obronski, Impekoven & Cie', which had specialized in theatrical equipment, decorations and costume designs. There, Schwarz made contact with the Berlin stage world and, only interrupted by military service in World War I from 1915 to 1918, was busy with all areas of set construction until the 1930s. From 1920 he also worked as an architect .
In the late 1920s, Schwarz switched to film as a production designer , initially as a worker for Julius von Borsody's Viennese colleague . From then on it was mostly his job to implement the designs of more important colleagues. In 1931 he was responsible for his best-known and best performance, both as a designer and as a contractor, when he created a realistic scenery of the trenches of the First World War in the people-reconciling drama No Man's Land . In the mid-30s he was partner of his famous colleague Emil Hasler several times . During the Second World War , Schwarz worked primarily for Berlin-Film .
After the end of the war, Artur Schwarz belonged to the DEFA architects' collective until the end of his life and worked primarily with the production designers Willy Schiller and Willi Eplinius . After 1952 he was only entrusted with minor auxiliary work.
Artur Schwarz had also made a name for himself in specialist circles as an expert on East Asian art.
