About the Item

Extremely rare testprint (unique piece). In the testprints the eye trough the glass in become a skull. This is phase one, where you can still see the full eye. Fritz Aigner (1930 - 2005) was an Austrian artist who has been a solitary figure in the Austrian art scene of the 20th century throughout his life, defying any categorisation of art fashions and styles and unflinchingly formulating his own artistic path. In his œuvre, everything human, erotic and religious, everything perceptible, even the metaphysical becomes a theme. In well thought-out pictorial compositions and with astonishing technical finesse, the whole complexity of human existence is revealed. The realism - often heightened to the point of surrealism - has a merciless effect and makes it impossible for the viewer to escape the relentless views and insights. Whether reduced and spiritualised or opulent and exuberant - Fritz Aigner's pictures convince with an elemental power that is not always easy to bear.

Franz Rogler (1921 -1994) studied wood and stone sculpture with Wilhelm Gösser at the Graz School of Applied Arts and attended the master class for painting with Rudolf Szyszkowitz. During his studies he was drafted for military service and, together with fellow artist Hans Fronius, was deployed as a war painter in Austria, Germany, Italy, the former Yugoslavia, Greece and Russia. During this time he completed studies at the Academy in Zagreb and organised exhibitions in Austria. In 1944 he deserted and managed to escape to Switzerland, where he settled in Basel after his internment and came into contact with the Swiss Surrealists of "Group 33" and with the artists Hans Arp, Max Ernst and Meret Oppenheim through his friend Regula Weilenmann. After the end of the war, he studied at the Basel Art School with Walter Bodmer and Heinrich Müller, which introduced him to Constructivist art. In 1947 Rogler returned to Graz and became a member of the Graz Secession. From 1948 to 1950 he studied at the Vienna Academy with Albert Paris Gütersloh, before returning to Graz as a freelance artist in 1950. In 1953 he received the Art Prize of the City of Graz and his works were published in the first issue of the "Surrealist Publications" edited by Edgar Jené and Paul Celan...
