Austrian painter, graphic artist, stage and costume designer of the 20th century. Studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts with Rudolf Bacher and singing at the Academy of Music and Performing Arts. From 1932 worked as a stage designer for the Burgtheater, State Opera, Theater an der Wien, Volksoper and Salzburg Festival, among others. From 1935 member of the Vienna Künstlerhaus. From 1945 to 1948 worked at the Tiroler Landestheater in Innsbruck. 1971 designed the arrivals hall at the airport in Vienna Schwechat. Erich Fiala collected historical musical instruments with his wife Isolde Ahlgrimm, organized concerts together at Palais Pallavicini. Active in the art trade, founded the Strudlhof Gallery in 1940. The portrait study shows the Purkersdorf-born music lover, musical instrument collector, concert manager, art dealer and partner of the Manner factory Erich Fiala. From Sergius Pauser he seems to have partly adopted the pose language of the sitter, from Josef Dobrowsky the expressionist impetus, from Herbert Boeckl the courage for analytical abstraction and the desire for coloristic experimentation, and perhaps also from the young Weiler the art of blurring the boundaries between painting and drawing. Fiala was married to the famous Viennese harpsichordist and expert on historical musical instruments Isolde Ahlgrimm.
