SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Otto Lendecke (1886–1918), an Austrian artist born in Lemberg who died in Vienna, worked as a painter, sculptor and illustrator. After leaving a military career in 1909, he exhibited a bust at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris in 1910. His activity subsequently extended across illustrated magazines, publishing and decoration. He contributed to Jugend, Meggendorfer Blätter and Licht und Schatten, and supplied more than seventy contributions to Simplicissimus. For the publisher S. Fischer, he designed book covers for works by Arthur Schnitzler and J. V. Jensen. In 1913, he decorated Helena Rubinstein’s London beauty salon with oil paintings. He directed the fashion magazine Die Damenwelt in 1917. These varied commissions place his work at the intersection of fine and applied arts.
