Rudolf Leitner- Gründberg
"Der Wunsch"

About the Item

Rudolf Leitner-Gründberg (1955–present) "Der Wunsch" Oil on canvas Framed: 156 × 126 cm Flat: 136 × 104 cm A striking example of Rudolf Leitner-Gründberg’s evocative and expressive style, "Der Wunsch" (translated as "The Wish") encapsulates the artist’s distinctive approach to color, form, and emotion. Leitner-Gründberg, an Austrian painter known for his abstract and semi-figurative compositions, blends elements of lyrical abstraction with symbolic storytelling, creating works that engage both the subconscious and the tangible world. Emerging in the late 20th century, his oeuvre is deeply influenced by European modernism and expressionist traditions, incorporating bold gestures and atmospheric depth. This painting, executed in oil on canvas, demonstrates his masterful use of texture and contrast, inviting the viewer into a world of introspection and longing. The dynamic composition suggests a poetic narrative, where the act of wishing becomes a visual meditation on desire, memory, and transformation. Framed elegantly, "Der Wunsch" is a museum-quality piece that embodies Leitner-Gründberg’s enduring exploration of human emotion through painterly abstraction. Condition: Excellent.

Created in 1985, this piece blends oil and collage on a 24 x 18-inch canvas, showcasing the artist's mastery in layering textures and integrating forms. Horacio Sapere, known for his multidisciplinary approach that spans painting, visual poetry, and performance, aligns himself with the tradition of great contemporary art figures.
