The Austrian painter Robert Philippi received his first artistic training from the theater painter Robert Kautsky and at the private Viennese painting school Streblow. From 1893 to 1896 he studied at the Vienna Academy with Christian Griepenkerl and Josef Mathias Trenkwald and later at the Vienna School of Applied Arts with Felician Myrbach and Alfred Roller. In 1914 he became Franz ?ižek's assistant at the School of Applied Arts. He was probably also a student at the Weimar Bauhaus. After starting out with drawing and woodcuts, Philippi increasingly turned to painting from 1925 onwards. Philippi was under the influence of Gustav Klimt and was a member of the Hagenbund, Vienna, until 1925.
