Live and act

Hilde Exner came from one of the most famous academic families in old Austria. She was the daughter of Franz-Serafin Exner (1849–1926) and his first wife, Auguste Bach (1858–1883).

From 1902 to 1905 she studied painting under Kolo Moser , Friedrich Linke and Alfred Roller at the Vienna School of Applied Arts , but decided on sculpture and received formative impulses from Aristide Maillol in Paris. In her works, which are partly made of stone and bronze, partly wood and terracotta and which technically showed the full mastery of all means , the influences of George Minne , Ernst Barlach and Wilhelm Lehmbruck can be found among others . Together with her one year older cousin , Nora Exner , and Franz Fiebiger , she designed woodcuts of animals. In 1913 she exhibited six of her sculptures in the Galerie Goltz , Munich.

After the First World War, Hilde Exner moved to Salzburg with artist friends she knew from the arts and crafts school - with Emma Schlangenhausen , Helene von Taussig , Marie Cyrenius and Magda Mautner Markhof . In Salzburg, the first larger public sculpture by an artist was made by Hilde Exner: the figure of David placed on the war memorial in the cemetery in Morzg in 1920 .

During the First World War, the artist dedicated herself to caring for the wounded and in doing so took the germs of the disease that she succumbed to on April 23, 1922 . She was buried at the Sieveringen cemetery . One year after her death, Galerie Würthle , Vienna, presented an exhibition of Hilde Exner's posthumous works.
