Andreas Harsch discovered his love of painting when he was twelve years old. He attended the woodworking school in Wallern, majoring in woodcarving, and graduated at the top of his class. Harsch financed his studies at the Munich Art Academy and later at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna himself, as he grew up in poor circumstances. In 1914 he was called up as a cadet and was wounded twice during the war. After the war, Harsch completed his studies and opened his own painting studio in Vienna's 19th district in November 1919. There he successfully created portraits, figure compositions, landscapes, still lifes, line drawings, coloured woodcuts and sculptures as well as ornamental decorations for gravestones. Harsch exhibited at the Artists' Exhibition in 1919 and attracted attention with his work "Spring". Afterwards he was represented in the Secession with several works and received the Honorary Prize of the City of Vienna in 1935. In addition to his painting, Harsch also worked on public monument projects.
