Life

Memorial plaque in Vienna

Carry Hauser came from a Viennese civil servant family. He attended the Schottengymnasium and the graphic teaching and research institute . He then studied at the Vienna School of Applied Arts , among others with Adolf Michael Boehm , Anton von Kenner , Alfred Roller and Oskar Strnad . He then began his career as a painter, graphic artist , set designer and writer , which was initially interrupted by his participation in the First World War, for which he volunteered in 1914. However, the war experiences made him a pacifist .

After the war he returned to Vienna and met Franz Theodor Csokor , among others , for whose play Die Rote Straße he designed the set in 1918. In that year the first collective exhibition of his works took place in the museum in Opava, and Arthur Roessler arranged a first large personal exhibition for him . In these, however, his early work could no longer be shown due to loss in the war and post-war period. In 1919 he gained further fame through the portfolio Die Insel .

From 1919 to 1922 Hauser was a leader in the artist group Free Movement and also belonged to the artist community Der Fels , for a while he lived in Passau . Here he made friends with Georg Philipp Wörlen . 1925 to 1938 he was a member of the Hagenbund , 1927/28 as its president. He campaigned for the theater as part of the Vienna Theater Guild, of which he was vice-president. In the 1930s he was involved in the Patriotic Front during the period of the corporate state .

Because of his political stance, Hauser was banned from working and exhibiting after the annexation of Austria in 1938 by the National Socialists . In 1939 he was appointed to the art school in Melbourne because of the outbreak of the Second World War . His wife Gertrud Herzog-Hauser (1894–1953), with whom he had been married since 1922, had to emigrate to the Netherlands because of her Jewish origins, where she was able to survive until 1946. Hauser himself went into exile in Switzerland , where he wrote A Story of the Prodigal Son in 1941 (published privately in 1945), the novel Between Yesterday and Tomorrow in 1945 and the fairy tale painter, death and virgin in 1946 .

In 1947 Hauser returned to Vienna with his wife and took part in the reconstruction. In 1952 he became General Secretary and later until 1972 Vice President of the Austrian PEN Club . He was also a member of the executive committee of the Action against Anti-Semitism and was involved in the re-establishment of the professional association of Austrian visual artists , of which he later became vice-president.

His honorary grave is in the Hietzinger Friedhof (Group 67, Row 11, No. 12). Carry Hauser was married to Gertrud Herzog-Hauser since 1922. The marriage produced a son.

Works

His wide-ranging oeuvre as a portrait, genre, history and landscape painter as well as graphic artist is represented in the collections of the Wien Museum , the Albertina and the Austrian Gallery Belvedere . His work as a set designer also included work for the Burgtheater , and he created numerous sets and illustrations for books. While his earlier works were still related to the works of George Grosz , Otto Dix or Ludwig Meidner , he found his own style at the end of the 1920s, which is characterized by neo-objective and expressionist features.
