The sculptor Heinz Leinfellner was born in 1911 in Steinbrueck in Lower Styria. From 1916 on he lived with his family in Graz, where he also attended the arts and crafts school from 1930. In 1932 he moved to Vienna, where he continued his education at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna until 1940. There he studied under Anton Hanak and Josef Muellner. He also worked with Fritz Wotruba, whose work had a major influence on Leinfellner's work. In 1947 he was a founding member of the Art-Club. In 1957 he became a lecturer in ceramic sculpture at the Vienna Art Academy and from 1972 a professor. His works were repeatedly presented at national and international exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale in 1954 and at the Documenta in Kassel in 1959.
