Vita: Herwig Zens decided to study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna in 1961. After successfully completing his degree, he began teaching at high schools in Vienna. He was a passionate teacher who, with his knowledge and creativity, was able to inspire students for art and painting. During his time as a teacher he cultivated an intense friendship with Herbert Link, an Austrian filmmaker and art educator. Since then, Herwig Zens has enjoyed a multitude of films and reports that present both his life and his work. Apart from his passion for teaching, he dealt intensively with his artistic work. Herwig Zens soon earned a reputation as an excellent graphic artist and specialist in the dance of death. Herwig Zens went on a number of study trips abroad, which had a strong influence on him and thus also his work. Early on he developed a deep relationship with Spain in general and with Goya in particular, which in 2005 was the subject of a retrospective at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. Works on this topic were the focus of the exhibition in September 2008 in the Lehner Gallery. The work he has created to date has received a large number of honors and prizes, including the Füger Prize, Theodor Körner Prize, the Gold Medal of Honor of the City of Vienna and the Austrian Cross...
