STARTING PRICE °€ 50
Fritz von Herzmanovsky-Orlando graduated from 1896-1903 with a degree in structural engineering at the Vienna Technical University. He then met his lifelong friend Alfred Kubin Alfred and in Munich he joined the circle of the "Kosmiker" (Cosmists) around Karl Wolfskehl, Ludwig Klages and Alfred Schuler. Herzmanovsky-Orlando worked in 1904/05 as an employed architect, then as a freelance architect. In 1911/12 he gave up his job due to illness. Since he was financially independent by birth, he lived from then on as a private individual for art, drawing, collecting, restoring and writing. The illness led to several cures and trips to the south. Among other things, he came to the northeastern Adriatic with his wife Carmen Maria Schulista in 1913, and to Egypt, Sicily and southern Italy in 1914. In 1916 he moved to Merano due to illness. As a result of the option agreement, he left 1940; After retreating he moved to Malcesine. In 1949 he returned to Meran. He spent the last years of his life in Rametz Castle. Herzmanovsky spent many summers at his villa in Ebensee-Rindbach. Here he received u. a. the journalist Anni Hartmann and his half-sister Hedi Juer. Herzmanovsky-Orlando was able to publish little during his lifetime. His literary work only became known posthumously through the complete edition initiated by Friedrich Torberg, but was controversial. In his works, Herzmanovsky-Orlando fantasizes about a mystical dreamland. He had the Italian humanist Cyriacus von Pizzicolli appear as the main character of his grotesquely fantastic novel Masques of the Genii. Together with Fritz Keller he built a house in Vienna, his only known work as an architect.
