Henry Koerner (August 28, 1915, Vienna, Austria – July 4, 1991, St. Pölten, Austria) was an Austrian-born American painter and graphic designer best known for his early Magical Realist works of the late 1940s and his portrait covers for Time magazine. ==Early life==
Born in the Leopoldstadt District of Vienna to Jewish parents Leo Koerner (1879–1942) and Feige Dwora (“Fanny”) Koerner (1887–1942), Koerner attended the Realgymnasium Vereinsgasse. Trained in graphic design at Vienna’s Graphische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt (1934–36), he worked in the studio of Viktor Theodor Slama, designing posters and book jackets. Following Hitler’s annexation of Austria in 1938, he fled via Italy (Milan and Venice) to the U.S., settling in New York and in 1940 marrying Viennese-born Fritzi Apfel.〔Gail Stravitzky, From Vienna To Pittsburgh: The Art of Henry Koerner, exh. cat. (Pittsburgh: Museum of Art, Carnegie Institute, 1983), pp. 13–17.〕 Employed as a commercial artist in Maxwell Bauer Studios in Manhattan, he achieved initial success as a poster artist, receiving first prize from the American Society of the Control of Cancer Poster Competition and two first prizes from the National War Poster Competition. In 1943, the Office of War Information hired Koerner in its Graphics Division in New York, where he worked alongside artists Ben Shahn, Bernard Perlin, and David Stone Martin. Shahn’s pictorial style, along with the photography of Walker Evans and German Neue Sachlichkeit painters (e.g., Otto Dix), inspired Koerner’s painting, which began with a rendering of his family home in Vienna (My Parents I, 1943). Drafted into the U.S. Army, he was ordered in 1944 to the Graphics Division of the Office of Strategic Services in Washington, D.C. where he made war posters, including ''Save Waste Fats'' and ''Someone Talked'', the latter winning an award from the Museum of Modern Art. Shipped to London, he documented, in pen and ink sketches and photographs, everyday life during wartime. After VE Day (8 May 1945), Koerner was reassigned to Germany, sketching defendants at the War Crimes trials.
