About the Item
Auguste Kronheim was born in Amsterdam in 1937. The artist makes woodcuts and drawings. She received her training in drawing from Hanns Kobinger and graduated from the Linz Federal Trade School, where she mainly learned the technique of wood cutting. In Linz she met the artist Fritz Aigner, with whom she was married between 1956 and 1962. Auguste Kronheim worked closely with her husband and even after the divorce they continued to have an intimate employment relationship. The artist lived for a while with her three children in the holiday home of her friends Heinrich and Annemarie Böll on the Irish island of Achill. Kronheim moved in 1964, she and her children moved to Dugort on Achill Island. She then moved to Dooega with the children and her new partner Michael White. During this time many works related to her stay in Ireland were created. In 1965 she gave birth to a fourth child, for whom Heinrich Böll took over the sponsorship. In 1966, after her residence permit for Ireland had expired, she returned to Austria. Auguste Kronheim and Fritz Aigner lived and worked together again until they moved to Kirchberg an der Donau. In Linz she met the young writer Werner Kofler and in 1970 moved with him and her children to Vienna. She had twins with Werner Kofler and in 1990 they separated. Then Auguste Kronheim dealt with the traditions of the Tibetan woodcut. The artist traveled to Naples several times between 1991 and 1996. Thereby she got to know the traditional printing techniques of the monasteries. Your artistic work was extremely determined during this period. Auguste Kronheim now lives in Vienna. One of her sons is the painter Brendan Kronheim.
Auguste Kronheim worked mainly in the woodcut technique. Her motives show the hard, barren, often merciless life that she experienced in the Mühlviertel, in Ireland or later in Nepal. She visualizes the traditions and myths she has experienced on her travels. Her stylistic devices are provocation, snub and over-drawing. Her wood cuts are characterized by a dualism between plasticity and flatness. The two-dimensionality is created by clear delimiting contours between the black and white areas, where, on the other hand, fine hatching or patterns can create an effect of depth. The black or white areas can move into the foreground or background of the picture through a specific structure. Depending on the design of the figures, these can emerge three-dimensionally or appear flat.
