Arnulf Rainer Austrian painter, printmaker and photographer. He had almost no academic training as an artist. From 1948 to 1951 he produced Surrealistic drawings representing underwater scenes and mystical forms, rendering these fantastic images in pencil as a densely worked surface. Deeply suspicious of rationality, he investigated the potential of dreams, madness and the subconscious; to these ends he co-founded the Hundsgruppe under the influence of French Surrealism in 1950. He began to turn away from fantastic Surrealism. From 1956 Rainer became concerned with religious theories and practices, particularly in a group of paintings dominated by cruciform shapes. From the mid 1970s Rainer reworked photographs on a variety of subjects. Bibliography O.

Günter Brus Tal y como señalaba Manuel Asensi en el catálogo de la exposición Günter Brus. Quietud nerviosa en el horizonte, para entender el trabajo de Brus “es necesario tener en cuenta su obsesión por los límites: entre el arte y el mundo, entre las artes (teatro, poesía, pintura, situación, escritura material, etc.), entre los interiores y los exteriores (lo que hay dentro del cuerpo y lo que hay fuera de él), entre lo animado y lo inanimado, entre la muerte y la vida”. Günter Brus (Ardning, Austria, 1938) fue, junto a Otto Muehl, Hermann Nitsch y Rudolf Schwarzkogler, uno de los máximos representantes del accionismo vienés, un movimiento que a mediados de la década de los sesenta convulsionó la escena cultural austriaca al llevar el arte al terreno de la acción y utilizar el cuerpo humano como principal soporte y material artístico. A finales de los años cincuenta, Brus realizaba una obra pictórica muy próxima al expresionismo abstracto. Actividad relacionada Visita comentada por Günter Brus

the art of SKINNER - "Every Man Is My Enemy Book!!!" New Book!! Andy Goldsworthy Digital Catalogue: Home Morton Bartlett In 1993, Marion Harris, a New York art and antiques dealer, made the discovery of her life: In a booth at the Pier Show, a major antiques fair in New York, she came upon a collection of dolls and doll parts in boxes, along with stacks of old photographs. The material had been removed from a townhouse in Boston’s South End after the death of its elderly owner, a man named Morton Bartlett. Acting on instinct, she bought everything, and when she got it all home she found that what she’d purchased was a group of 15 exquisitely realistic, half-life-size dolls carefully wrapped in old newspapers and stored in custom-made wooden boxes. There were also expertly tailored clothes for the dolls and hundreds of professional-quality photographs of the dolls in evocatively staged and dramatically lighted situations. Now the Julie Saul Gallery in Chelsea, New York, is presenting an illuminating exhibition of Bartlett’s works. For viewers new to Bartlett, the show is an excellent introduction.

Lucy McRae David Nebreda Lucian Freud: The Painter's Etchings One of the foremost figurative artists working today, Lucian Freud (British, born Germany 1922) has redefined portraiture and the nude through his unblinking scrutiny of the human form. Although best known as a painter, etching has become integral to his practice. This exhibition will present the full scope of Freud's achievements in etching, including some seventy-five examples ranging from rare, early experiments in the 1940s to the increasingly large and complex compositions created since his rediscovery of the medium in the early 1980s. In a dramatic and unusual cross-media installation, it will also include a selection of related paintings and drawings, illuminating the crucial, cross-pollinating relationship between Freud's etchings and paintings. Organized by Starr Figura, Assistant Curator, Department of Prints and Illustrated Books. The exhibition is supported in part by Patricia Phelps de Cisneros and The Contemporary Arts Council of The Museum of Modern Art. Lucian Freud.
