Arik Brauer Art

Austrian, 1929-2021
Arik (Erich) Brauer (Vienna, 1929–2021) was a leading figure of the Viennese School of Fantastic Realism, a postwar movement that fused Old Master technique with visionary, allegorical imagery. Working between Vienna and Paris, Brauer built a practice that moved fluidly across painting, book illustration, and printmaking—media presented together in major museum surveys of his work. Influenced by Hieronymus Bosch and P. Breughel, Brauer created art which evolved between the techniques of the Old Masters and fantastical Surrealism. The artist is also an accomplished architect, author, poet, stage designer, graphic artist and songwriter. graphic work and book illustration are core to his practice, not side notes. For example, the Leopold Museum’s retrospective explicitly presents painting alongside graphic works and book illustrations, emphasizing how integral those media were to his “Gesamt.Kunst.Werk” approach. Brauer’s 1973 illustrations for The Hasidic Tales are extraordinary examples of etching pushed to its expressive limits. Through the masterful use of layered aquatint, Brauer achieves a richness of color and saturation that defies traditional expectations of the medium, creating densely imaginative scenes that feel at once folkloric and fantastical.
