Friedrich Leonhard Heubner studied at the Munich School of Arts and Crafts under Julius Diez. He left the Munich Jugendstil behind early on and developed a distinctive personal style. In particular, Heubner illustrated caricatures for the magazines "Jugend", "Die Gartenlaube" and "Simplicissimus". Together with Emil Preetorius, Valentin Zietara, Franz Paul Glass, Carl Moos and Max Schwarzer, he founded the artists' group "Die Sechs" in 1914. Heubner first appeared as a poster designer. In the next few years he designed advertising posters, but also political ones, including for the Bayerischer Ordnungsblock, a völkisch-nationalist association. In the 1920s he turned more to book illustration, creating etchings and lithographs. In his paintings of the 1920s, created while traveling, Heubner arrived at an expressionist conception of landscape. From 1920 he was a member of the Munich Secession and exhibited there regularly. In 1927 he became professor of free graphics at the Munich School of Applied Arts. From 1932 to 1940 Heubner worked at the Nuremberg State School of Applied Arts and from 1940 until his retirement in 1949 at the Academy in Munich. In 1944 his studio in Munich was destroyed; until 1951 Heubner lived in Chieming.
