Mayer-Beck ESTIMATE °€ 100 - 200 STARTING PRICE °€ 100 The artist was born Friedrich Mayer in Vienna. His family moved to Horn in Lower Austria in 1916. After the death of his parents, he grew up in Vienna from the age of fourteen with his aunt Maria Beck and her husband, the landscape painter Friedrich Beck. He later adopted his uncle's surname as his artist's name. After graduating from high school, Mayer-Beck studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. He attended the general painting school under Wilhelm Dachauer and then the master school for painting under Rudolf Bacher until 1933. In between, he obtained the teaching qualification for "freehand drawing" at secondary schools as well as for mathematics and descriptive geometry. After completing the masterclass, Mayer-Beck worked as an assistant teacher from 1934, later as an assistant teacher in Graz at Akademisches Gymnasium and at the 2. Staatsgymnasium in Grabenstraße. In the 1930s, his art focussed on expressive wood engravings, although the majority of his works were lost during the turmoil of war. In 1939, Mayer-Beck married the actress Maria Kindl. At the end of the Second World War, he lost his job in Graz for political reasons. In October 1945, he became an assistant teacher at the Bundesrealgymnasium in Leoben, where he was given a permanent position in 1949.He was a member of the artists' association in Graz and in 1947 a founding member of the "Upper Styrian Cultural Association", on whose behalf he also gave lectures and courses on art and art history. Mayer-Beck received several major commissions for public spaces, for example in 1954 he designed the floor-to-ceiling sgraffito in a municipal housing complex (the so-called "U-Block") in Leitendorf and was involved in the interior design of the Leoben-Göß kindergarten. His designs for tapestries in the meeting room of the district administration of Leoben were realised in the applied arts. In 1969, he was awarded the silver medal of honour for services to the Republic of Austria by the Federal President and retired as a senior teacher in 1971. He then retired to his second domicile near Seckau Abbey for intensive work. Despite health problems, this period became one of the most artistically productive periods of his life, particularly in relation to reverse glass painting. In Leoben, he created woodcut cycles, book illustrations, drawings and reverse glass paintings, which became the main means of expression in his work. His last monumental work was the series of murals in the Raiffeisenkasse, Hauptplatz 15 in 1975/76. His estate was handed over to the Museum of the City of Leoben by his widow in 1996.
