The Austrian painter Felix Albert Harta studied architecture at the Technical University of Vienna. In 1905, he went to Munich and switched to painting. His teacher at the academy was Hugo von Habermann. He went on study trips to France, Belgium, Spain and Italy and exhibited at the Salon d'automne in 1908. Harta then lived in Vienna and took part in World War I as a volunteer. Gustav Klimt advised him to apply as a war painter at the k.u.k. Kriegspressequartier (Imperial and Royal War Press Office). In April 1917, he became a member of the art group there; deployments on the Russian and Italian fronts. After the end of the war, he stayed in Salzburg until 1923, where he founded the artists' association "Der Wassermann" with Anton Faistauer in 1919 and became its president. Harta was involved in founding the Salzburg Festival. In 1921, he received the Great Silver State Medal. In 1926/27, he travelled to Paris and received the honorary diploma at the international exhibition in Bordeaux. Further honours: 1929 Österreichischer Staatspreis (Austrian State Prize) and 1934 Ehrenpreis der Stadt Wien (Honorary Prize of the City of Vienna). From 1928 to 1935, Harta was a member of the Hagenbund. From 1939 to 1950, Harta was in exile in England, where he taught at a college. After that he moved to Salzburg. Gusti Wolf grew up at times with Felix Albrecht Harta and his family. Harta's daughter Eva Wick lived as a graphic designer in the USA. In his early years, Harta was acquainted with Oskar Kokoschka, Egon Schiele and Albert Paris Gütersloh and was close to Expressionism. He was friends with Gustav Klimt. Harta's later works point in the direction of post-impressionism. His subjects were mainly landscape and still life, portrait and genre.
