Life and work edit
Hirschbäck was born on 2 July 1937 in Schwarzach St. Veit. He attended the Benedictine boarding school in the Edmundsburg in Salzburg, and later studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna under Albert Paris Gütersloh.[1] He was a member of the Austrian artist group Sezession Graz until 1977;[2] in that year he was among the twenty-nine founding members of the Gruppe 77 artist group.[3]
Hirschbäck died in Thumersbach, Zell am See, on 13 July 2007.[citation needed] He left thousands of works: drawings in ink and in pencil, paintings in water colours, in tempera and in oils, and mixed media works.[1][failed verification]
