Michael Powolny Biography

(b Judenburg, 18 Sept 1871; d Vienna, 4 Jan 1954). Austrian decorative artist and sculptor. He received training as a potter in his father’s business from 1885 to 1889, concluding this training with the firm of Sommerhuber in Steyr from 1890 to 1891. After attending the Fachschule für Thonindustrie in Znojmo [Ger. Znaim], southern Moravia (now Czech Republic) (1891–4), he studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule (now the Hochschule für Angewandte Kunst) in Vienna. From 1894 to 1901 he produced sculpture and modelling work with August Kühne (1845–95), Josef Breitner (1861–1927), Otto König (1838–1920) and Arthur Strasser (1854–1927), and from 1903 to 1906 he was assistant to the sculptor, Franz Metzner. The Kunstgewerbeschule, which at that time strongly reflected the impact of the Secession, had a decisive effect on his work.
