Hungarian painter and draughtsman.
He spent his childhood in Vienna, where he helped his father, a painter and decorator, in the Prater amusement park. In 1890 the family returned to Budapest. Scheiber started to paint in 1894, while in the army, and he studied at the Academy of Applied Arts in Budapest (1898–1900). He then worked as a sign painter. Scheiber taught himself to use oils but preferred tempera and chalk drawing. In the early years of the century he was influenced by the style of the Viennese Secession. In 1921 he returned to Vienna and exhibited at the Hevesi salon with Béla Kádár. In 1923 he exhibited his drawings at the House of Creative Artists in Budapest. He produced expressive poster-like compositions with swift, graceful lines in which male and female heads, tramps and seated drunks represent modern city life.
