Hirschbäck was born on 2 July 1937 in Schwarzach St. Veit. He attended the Benedictine boarding school in the Edmundsburg [de] in Salzburg, and later studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna under Albert Paris Gütersloh.[1] He was a member of the Austrian artist group Sezession Graz [de] until 1977;[2] in that year he was among the twenty-nine founding members of the Gruppe 77 artist group.[3]

Hirschbäck died in Thumersbach [de], Zell am See, on 13 July 2007.[citation needed] He left thousands of works: drawings in ink and in pencil, paintings in water colours, in tempera and in oils, and mixed media works.[1][failed verification]

In 1972, Hirschbäck received the art prize of the town of Köflach,[citation needed] followed by a retrospective in the Neue Galerie der Stadt Linz, now the Lentos Museum in Linz.[4]

His work is in the collections of the Albertina[5] and the Österreichische Galerie Belvedere in Vienna,[6][7] and the Lentos Art Museum in Linz.[8]
