The artisan Arnold Nechansky was an important representative of Art Nouveau. From 1909 to 1913 he studied at the Vienna School of Applied Arts, successively with Oskar Strnad, Adolf Böhm and Josef Hoffmann. As early as 1914 he was able to design the Austrian pavilion at the Cologne Werkbund exhibition. From 1917 he designed ceramics for the Wiener Werkstätte founded by Josef Hoffmann. Some of his designs were also executed by the Königliche Porzellan-Manufaktur (KPM) in Berlin. In 1919 Nechansky received a call to the arts and crafts school in Charlottenburg, where he headed the class for metal and leather processing and the preparatory class for general design. In 1923, at his new place of work in Berlin, he married the Viennese painter Marianne von Winter. In 1934 Nechansky returned to his hometown of Vienna. There he worked until the end of his life as a designer for silver, furniture, fabrics and porcelain on behalf of the Lobmeyr company and the Wiener Werkstätte.
