Franz Hitzler
1946
Ohne Titel. 1979/80.
Oil on canvas.
Signed and dated "1979 1980" on the reverse. 230 x 190 cm (90.5 x 74.8 in). [JS].
• Since the 1970s, Hitzler has been depicting existential emotional worlds between death, suffering, and joy in his characteristic, spontaneously and impulsively written paintings.
• Powerful, colorful, and large-format, Hitzler has condensed signs and symbols into artistic abbreviations, placing them on the canvas like mysterious hieroglyphs.
• Rembrandt/Rubens/Titian: Franz Hitzler's painting is strongly influenced by the themes and motifs of old master history painting, whose existential statements he translates into a modern, almost abstract visual language.
• Hitzler studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich from 1967 to 1972.
PROVENANCE: Private collection, Rhineland.
In good condition. Only slightly rubbed in places along the edges and a few hairline cracks along the edges.
