Hans Liska (19 November 1907 in Vienna, Austria – 26 December 1983 in Wertheim am Main, Germany) was an Austrian artist, painter, commercial artist and illustrator.
Biography
Liska attended economic school and worked as a bureaucrat. A secondary job as a pianist helped him apply to University of Applied Arts Vienna. There he was a student of Berthold Löffler (a friend of Oskar Kokoschka).
Liska then worked as a commercial artist in St. Gallen, Switzerland, and went to the Königliche Kunstgewerbeschule München in Munich as a student of Emil Preetorius and Walter Teutsch.
Encouraged by Ullstein Verlag, Liska went to the Academy of Arts in Berlin on Steinplatz as a student of Ferdinand Spiegel. After World War II started, he was drafted as a soldier and an illustrator of the Wehrmacht Propaganda Troops. His drawings of various battlefields were published in many magazines, even in neutral countries. Two of his sketch books in 1942 (Junkers) and 1944 (Hans Liska) are valuable collectibles today. From 1933 to 1944, he was an illustrator for the Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung, particularly for the special issue for the 1936 Summer Olympics, and the propaganda magazine Signal. He made a drawing of the "greatest ateliers in the world", a gigantic hall, which was to be erected in Baldham near Munich by Josef Thorak after a decision by Albert Speer. This was supposed to be used for mighty group performances on the rally ground in Nuremberg. The building looks like a living model (for example a horse), then a sound form, then a four-metre-tall model and finally a colossal horse statue. A second image shows the transport of ready-made horse sculptures to railway tracks for delivery to the deployment site.
After the end of the war, Liska remained in Germany. In 1945 his Skizzenbuch aus dem Kriege, originally published in 1944 by Buhrbanck in Berlin in 1944, and all of its translations, was placed on the "proscription list of rejected literature" as number 17549.
In 1948 Liska married Elisabeth (née Schmid, born 1922) in Scheßlitz near Bamberg. The couple had two daughters, Angelika and Gabriele.
In Scheßlitz, Liska started drawing for the magazines Quick and Hörzu. He worked in advertising for years, especially for the automobile company Daimler-Benz, but also for the Colognian companies Ford and Mühlens (4711). His other employers included Galeria Kaufhof, Degussa, Märklin, Quelle, the paint company Hoechst, the Lederer Bierkontor brewery, the Sekt producer Henkell & Co. Sektkellerei and the smoke beer brewery Schlenkerla (Bamberg). His city and country books with sketches of Salzburg, Bamberg, Cologne, Kulmbach and Franconia were published starting from 1960.
The porcelain company Kaiser in Bad Staffelstein published numerous pitchers, porringers and most importantly plates bearing over 200 of Liska's illustrations of the cities of Aachen, Berlin, Danzig, Königsberg, Munich, Wroclaw and others.
Liska's love of Mozart's opera brought him in connection with the picture series Zauber der BĂĽhne, published in 1982. In his illustrated autobiography Malerisches Kulmbach (1985), Liska admitted to honouring the works of Max Ernst, Oskar Kokoscha and Pablo Picasso.
On 26 December 1983, Hans Liska had a stroke and died shortly afterwards.
