About the Item

Carry Hauser ist einer der faszinierendsten Künstler Österreichs des 20. Jahrhunderts, der über einen sehr langen Zeitraum in unterschiedlichen Stilen relevante Arbeiten geschaffen hat. Von Cary Hauser gibt es spannende expressive, kubistische und neusachliche Arbeiten. Im hohen Alter wendet er sich Afrika zu und verliebt sich in die Ursprünglichkeit des Kontinents und seiner Bewohner. Der 1895 in Wien geborene Carry Hauser gilt heutzutage als Vorreiter der Moderne. Als bildender Künstler und Schriftsteller hinterließ er ein vielseitiges Werk, das sich durch sein kontinuierliches humanes Engagement auszeichnet. Neben Malereien, Zeichnungen und Grafiken, entwarf er Bühnenbilder und Werbeplakate, verfasste Essays und Romane und schuf monumentale Wandarbeiten im urbanen Raum. Ab den 1960er Jahren unternimmt Carry Hauser regelmäßige Reisen nach Kroatien, Israel und vor allem nach Afrika. Auf diesen Reisen entstanden nicht nur zahlreiche Skizzen, in denen er die Natur und die Menschen vor Ort festhält, sondern auch dieses eindringliche Doppelporträt, das durch seine intensive Farbakzentuierung als ein klassisches Spätwerk Carry Hausers gilt. Die Unterwasserszene zeigt zwei junge Burschen neben Fischen im Wasser, wobei sich Mensch und Tier durch geöffneten Mund und Augen angleichen und eine wunderbare Symbiose ergeben. Carry Hauser suchte und fand in Afrika jene Ursprünglichkeit im Ausdruckt, die er in Wien nicht mehr fand. Seine Darstellungen afrikanischer Kinder sind ein später Höhepunkt in seinem Schaffen und verbinden vollkommen neue Motive, mit der Kraft seines Frühwerks. Hausers Arbeiten befinden sich heute in zahlreichen Museen und Sammlungen, so etwa im Belvedere, der Albertina und dem Tiroler Landesmuseum in Innsbruck. Er gewann etliche Preise wie die Silberne Medaille der Internationalen Ausstellung in Barcelona, die goldene Ehrenmedaille und den Ehrenring der Stadt Wien.

Rooftops Power Lines, Five & Diamond: Abstract Cityscape Painting of Hudson NY
By Ricardo Mulero
Located in Hudson, NY
Abstract cityscape painting of Hudson, NY rooftops with accents of pink, magenta, green, yellow and teal "Rooftops Power Lines and Five & Diamond," by Hudson, NY based artist, Ricardo Mulero 12 x 6 inch oil on wood panel, Painted in 2021 Excellent condition, ready to hang as is Signed, lower left Ricardo Mulero is fascinated with capturing the brilliance of light and the contrast of natural beauty with utilitarian landscapes. Here, he abstracted the city skyline of Hudson, NY. Buildings and rooftops in shades of magenta, teal, and green are segmented in the foreground and cropped with black power lines. A soft yellow sky is layered with thin strokes of gesturally applied pale blue paint, furthering abstracting the city landscape. The piece is in excellent condition and ready to hang as is. The sides are painted a very dark, warm magenta so framing is not necessary. About the Artist: Growing up in Puerto Rico, I observed how people and nature could co-exist in harmony. Today, that principle guides my design and artistic work. My paintings are expressions that draw upon my life experiences, traditions, and surroundings. These unique environments inspire my oil paintings: Puerto Rico, where I grew up, New York City, Fire Island Pines...
