Ferdinand Stransky attended the restoration school at the Vienna Academy from 1919 to 1923 and studied with Serafin Maurer, who, however, didn't think much of his student's enthusiasm for Oskar Kokoschka. From then on, Stransky trained himself as a painter. After his studies, he worked as a restorer, but also sold his own work. On the recommendation of the sculptor Georg Ehrlich, he was accepted into the Hagenbund in 1937. After the war, he became a member of the Secession and was one of the founders of the artist group “Der Kreis”. He earned his living as a restorer for the St. Lucas Gallery, but also found increasing recognition as an independent painter. Supported by the art historians Otto Benesch, Fritz Novotny and Hans Aurenhammer, he took part in the biennials in São Paulo and Tokyo and received the Theodor Körner Prize in 1958 and the Art Prize of the State of Lower Austria in 1964.
