  Ernst Huber, Austrian graphic artist and landscape painter, trained as a typesetter. The self-taught artist was able to celebrate his first successes from 1919, when Josef Hoffmann saw his work in an exhibition at the Palmenhaus. Hoffmann brought Huber into the artist group of the Kunstschau through the mediation of the sculptor Gustinus Ambrosi. Here he came into contact with the already established artists Herbert Boeckl, Anton Faistauer, Oskar Kokoschka, Anton Kolig and Franz Wiegele. In 1920 Huber became a member of the Sonderbund and in 1932 of the Vienna Secession. Huber was a member of the Zinkenbacker Malerkolonie and maintained close friendships with Ferdinand Kitt, Franz Zülow, Josef Dobrowsky, Georg Ehrlich and Georg Merkel. Ernst Huber's circle of friends since the early 1920s included Georg Merkel, Ferdinand Kitt, Ludwig Heinrich Jungnickel and Sergius Pauser. His oeuvre is dominated by landscapes, in his early work mainly from Lower Austria, Upper Austria and the Salzkammergut. Huber painted mainly in oil and watercolor, but he also created reverse glass and tile paintings as well as numerous book illustrations. From 1932 he regularly attended the Venice Biennale. In 1935 he received the Austrian State Prize for Watercolor, and in 1937 the Honorary Prize of the City of Vienna. He was awarded the title of professor in 1949, followed in 1952 by the honorary prize for painting at the Kunstverein Salzburg. His study of the paintings of Pieter Bruegel the Elder led Huber above all to a particular preference for multi-figured scenes, for example in his 1930 painting "Ice Skating Pleasure".
