Leopold Krakauer was born in Vienna, where he trained as an architect. He made aliyah in 1924. While he earned his living as an architect, building several prominent buildings in the internationalist style, he was also a gifted draftsman and produced a body of sober drawings of the Jerusalem landscape, especially thistles and olive trees, with gnarled trunks often suggesting human bodies in torment.
