Life

Doppler, although born in Vienna, was initially stateless and needed the Nansen pass for her trips to Budapest . She didn't meet her father until she was 14. His name was Zoltan Kovács de Kiszalasz. The spelling "Kovács" was an erroneous entry in her father's papers. Before that she signed with "Kováts". In 1935, when she married, she took on Austrian citizenship .

Margit Doppler attended elementary school from 1914 to 1919 and then the public school in Vienna until 1923. From 1923 to 1926 she studied at the graphic teaching and research institute in Vienna. Her teachers there were Professors Erwin Puchinger ( poster design ), Renner (black / white), Wilhelm Wodnansky (head / landscape), Hruby ( nude ), Mader ( lithography ) and Rudolf Larisch (art writing). From 1926 to 1927 she worked in the Georg Pollak studio and created cinema posters for United Artists , for which she later designed other posters from 1929 to 1935. From 1927 to 1929 she worked in the Atelier Trio , of which she was a partner together with the draftsman Anton Ziegler and her uncle, the businessman Hugo Brod. Cinema and advertising posters were created there. In 1929 she attended a course in model drawing with Professor Wimmer and was employed in Joseph Binder's studio from 1929 to 1930 . From 1936 to 1940 she stayed in Istanbul and from 1936 to 1938 attended professor Ismail Hakioygar's courses in ceramics and nude painting at the art college there. In 1940 she returned to Vienna, but was hardly active in graphics until the end of the war.
