Fritz Aigner

Beschreibung

Fritz Aigner can be seen as one of the most well-known and controversial Linz painters. This monograph explores and explains his life as an artist using numerous paintings, graphics, drawings, sketches, photographs and letters which illuminate the unique history of the artist. His career began as a drawing child prodigy, continued through the Art Academy of Vienna with Sergius Pauser, his intense dialogues with Altdorfer, Rembrandt and Rudolf Hausner. Spirited and amusing - sometimes a little too raucous and tainted with erotic obsession - he uses his brush to comment on his surroundings. His virtuosity in painting comes to light in his numerous surrealistic pictures as well as his perceptive portraits. The texts of the artist prove that a sensitive creature hid behind this social enfant terrible. This book contains comments by his companions, critics and contemporaries as well as being enhanced by comments of his own family. The opulent core of this review is however the artistic oeuvre.
