About Hermann Nitsch
Born in 1938
He is the last Viennese Actionist of the Marquise de Sade art. Hermann Nitsch's fascination with blood and viscera has remained constant since 1957. With his "Orgien-Mysterien-Theater" (eng.: Theatre of Orgies and Mysteries), for which the idea was born in the early 1960s, the artist continues to cause divided opinions to this day The artist acquired the Prinzendorf Castle in Austria. Since 1977, the Gesamtkunstwerk, which fuses painting, music, architecture, sacrificial rituals and religious aspects, has been produced and staged there.
Nitsch challenges the viewer to reflect by using an excess of disgust. Those who allow the scenery to take effect on them and deal with it reflectively can transfer it to human existence and action, thus revising the supposedly offensive content.
In his later paintings, the artist, who has since received numerous awards, explores the symbolic content of colours.
Term for paintings and sculptures that are detached from representational depiction, which spread across the entire western world and parts of the eastern world from around 1910 onwards in ever new stylistic variations. The Russian painter Wassily Kandinsky, born in 1866, is considered the founder of abstract art. Other important artists of abstract art are K.S. Malewitsch, Piet Mondrian, and others.

Giclée = derived from the French verb gicler "to squirt, spurt".
The giclée method is a digital printing process. It is a high-resolution, large-format printout on an inkjet printer with special different-coloured dye- or pigment-based inks (usually six to twelve). The colours are fade-proof, i.e. resistant to harmful UV light. They have a high richness of nuance, contrast and saturation.
The giclée process is suitable for art canvases, handmade and watercolour paper as well as for silk.
