Austrian artist Hermann Nitsch, who was born in Vienna in 1938, began painting in the late 1950s and early 1960s under the influence of Tachisme and Abstract Expressionism. He subsequently put on "theatrical" painting performances during which the so-called Schuttbilder (spill paintings) were created. Although Nitsch was still using red paint on his large canvases in 1961, he gradually replaced it with blood. Instead of stretching canvas on frames, he began to use bed sheets, and also started working with internal organ, animal cadavers, and human bodies. With his Orgies Mysteries Theater, Nitsch fulfilled his concept of a Gesamtkunstwerk, a complete work of art embracing painting architecture, and music with reference to Greek mystery festivals aiming to achieve catharsis that would ultimately lead to the recognition of one's own self.

En réponse à l'invitation de l'artiste par le musée de l'Orangerie à dialoguer avec les Nymphéas de Claude Monet, cet ouvrage permet de découvrir le « dernier » Nitsch et sa parenté élective avec le maître de l'impressionnisme, habité par une même obsession de la lumière et de la couleur. Artiste majeur de l'actionnisme viennois, dont il fut l'un des fondateurs, Hermann Nitsch (Vienne, 1938 – Mistelbach, 2022) est l'auteur d'un œuvre d'art total d'une radicalité extrême, mêlant peinture, musique et performance. Si celui-ci culmine dans le « Théâtre des Orgies et des Mystères », série de festivités et performances inspirée des rites antiques et chrétiens dont Nitsch avait forgé le concept dès 1957, ses toiles tardives témoignent d'une manière nouvelle, marquée par un chromatisme vibrant.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Monet is for me one of the greatest painters who ever existed. He went his way of exploring light relentlessly [.] the viscera of light became visible." A major artist of the Viennese Actionist movement, of which he was one of the founders, Hermann Nitsch, born in Vienna in 1938, died in Mistelbach in April 2022. Internationally recognised as the master of Austrian performance art, the artist developed a powerfully expressive body of work, borrowing from religious dramaturgy to develop a total art that culminated every year since the 1950s in his "Orgien Mysterien Theater", where he invited friends and audiences to six days of uninterrupted festivities and performances.At the end of his career, Hermann Nitsch developed a painting of great vitality, increasingly colourful, always closely linked to his performative acts. Fascinated by Monet's Nympheas, the artist engaged in a dialogue with this masterpiece of Impressionism, whose proximity to his art he emphasised: "In my performances, my expressive and religious painting has become a finished drama, an analytical dramaturgy. What remains to be seen is a frenzy of colour and form that stands out far beyond its content, like the ecstasies of colour in Monet's Water Lilies".The book will bring together a collection of paintings and graphic works produced shortly before his death, chosen directly from the artist's studio.
