Karl Julius Heinrich Revy was an Austrian artist. As a painter, graphic artist and sculptor, Revy (pseudonym: Heinrich von Greißing) created portraits and landscapes. As a sculptor, he made portrait busts and animal depictions. Revy graduated from high school in Vienna and studied history, art history and zoology at the University of Vienna from 1904 to 1906. At the same time, he studied for four semesters at the Vienna Kunstgewerbeschule (achool of applied aArts) in the teacher's training department for freehand drawing with Anton von Kenner. From 1906 to 1911, he studied painting at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts with Siegmund L'Allemand, Heinrich Lefler and Alois Delug. In 1915 and again from 1916 to 1918, he was deployed as a war painter at the battles of Isonzo and Piave. Between 1909 and 1926, he held several teaching positions at various high schools and at a school for women's domestic industries. Revy was a guest in the Hagenbund for the first time in 1909 and a member from 1912 to 1924. It was Revy who designed the poster for the 35th exhibition of the Hagenbund (III-IV/1912). In 1924, he joined the Vienna Secession, and from 1940 he was a member of the Vienna Künstlerhaus.
