  The Austrian artist Ernst Schrom studied at the Academy of Fine Arts from 1920 to 1925 with Rudolf Jettmar and Rudolf von Larisch. He then worked as a high school teacher and exhibited in Chicago in 1927 and in the Vienna Secession in 1928. At the end of the 1930s he gave up his teaching profession and began exhibiting more frequently (Vienna Künstlerhaus, literature exhibition with scripts, woodcuts and book cover designs in Berlin). During the Second World War, Schrom was used as a war painter. After the war he was initially successful as a stamp designer. The engravings for his ten designs for the stamps for the First Great Austrian Art Exhibition (1947) were partly carried out by other artists (Heribert T. Schimek, Hubert Woyty-Wimmer). Most of Schrom's works were created between 1945 and the early 1970s: drawings, plein-air watercolors, city and landscape paintings in oil and tempera. Travel was an important source of inspiration. Ernst Schrom also created reliefs, sgraffiti and mosaics on urban residential buildings in Vienna. Stylistically, Schrom's works can be classified in an area of ​​tension between New Objectivity and Expressionism. In terms of content, in addition to urban and rural scenes, they are characterized by dealing with everyday worries, unemployment, poverty and the effects of advancing mechanization.
