Richard Teschner studied at the Prague Art Academy and at the Vienna School of Applied Arts. In Prague, as a painter and graphic artist, he created a grotesque-fairy-tale-like, eerie and sometimes sultry-erotic poetics reminiscent of contemporaries such as Alfred Kubin. In Vienna he became a protagonist of Viennese Art Nouveau and joined the Wiener Werkstätte. From 1910, like Gustav Klimt, he belonged to a group of artists and creatives who regularly visited Vienna as guests of the k. u. k. Court master carpenter Friedrich Paulick spent their summer holidays at Lake Attersee. There he met the daughter of the host, Emma Paulick, whom he married in 1911. His art is influenced by Asian elements as well as fairy tales and legends, among other things. Inspired by the Javanese stick puppet theater Wayang, he devoted himself to puppetry in addition to painting and graphic art,. He designed stick puppets and peep box stages and acted as a puppeteer. He transferred the art of Javanese myth theater to the European world and is considered an innovator of puppet theater. Works by Teschner can be seen, for example, in the Vienna Theater Museum.
