Fritz Aigner
Selbstporträt mit Lupe (rot) / Selfportrait with blue magnifying glass (blue)

1970

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.
