Franz Hitzler
1946
Ohne Titel. 1978.
Oil on canvas.
Signed and dated on the reverse. 205 x 156 cm (80.7 x 61.4 in). [JS].

• Hitzler depicts existential emotional worlds between death, suffering, and joy in his characteristic, spontaneously and impulsively written paintings.
• One of the rare large-format paintings from the 1970s on the international auction market that shows a particular affinity to Art Brut in terms of motif.
• Powerful, colorful, and large in format, Hitzler has condensed signs and symbols into artistic abbreviations and placed them on the canvas like mysterious hieroglyphs.
• Hitzler studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich from 1967 to 1972.

PROVENANCE: Private collection, Rhineland.

In good condition. Only a few very small stress cracks in the impasto areas.
