Friedrich Leonhard Heubner (born December 24, 1886 in Dresden , † September 26, 1974 in Munich ) was a German commercial artist , painter , draftsman and illustrator .
Life
Before 1908 Heubner studied at the Dresden School of Applied Arts and from 1908 to 1910 at the Munich School of Applied Arts under Julius Diez . In 1913/14 he stayed in Paris. In 1914 he was a founding member of the artist group Die Sechs , which also included Emil Preetorius , Valentin Zietara , Franz Paul Glass , Carl Moos and Max Schwarzer .
Heubner did military service from 1914 to 1918. From 1920 he was a member of the Munich Secession and exhibited there regularly. In 1927 he became professor of free graphics at the Munich School of Applied Arts , from 1932 to 1940 at the Nuremberg State School for Applied Arts and from 1940 until his retirement in 1949 at the Academy in Munich .
In 1944 his studio in Munich was destroyed and Heubner lived in Chieming until 1951 .

Heubner quickly freed himself from the Munich Art Nouveau and developed his own lively drawing style. There were caricatures for the youth , The Gazebo and the Simplicissimus . First Heubner appeared as a poster designer. He received a prize for a poster design for the first exhibition of the Deutscher Werkbund in Cologne in 1914. He designed advertising posters, but also political ones, including for the Bavarian Ordnungsblock (BOB). In the 1920s he turned more to book illustration and created etchings and lithographs . In his paintings of the 1920s, which were mainly made while traveling, he came to an expressive understanding of the landscape.
Heubner was represented with a total of 13 works between 1938 and 1944 at the Great German Art Exhibitions in the Munich House of German Art , all of them harmless landscapes.
His drawings, which show the destroyed Munich and its reconstruction from 1945 onwards, are of cultural and historical importance, many of which are now in the collection of the Munich City Museum . After his retirement, more landscapes and still lifes were created again. In the 1950s, Heubner designed stained glass windows in the Mayer'schen Hofkunstanstalt , mainly with fairy tale motifs. Occasionally, works by the artist, especially the paintings created after 1945, are offered in auction shops.
