The painter and graphic artist Emil Orlik (1870–1932) created works for the theatre, ranging from posters to the scenography for productions, and he was also interested in the music scene. As an excellent portraitist, he often depicted the prominent individuals that he met on the theatre stage and in concert halls and with whom he collaborated. In addition to portraits of playwrights and theatre directors (Henrik Ibsen, Max Reinhardt, Hermann Bahr), he portrayed actresses and actors in their famous roles (Tilla Durieux, Emil Jannings, Werner Krauss), as well as composers and conductors during concert performances (Gustav Mahler, Selmar Meyrowitz).
