Arnulf To groove

Arnulf Rainer (born on December 8th, 1929 in Baden EIB Wien) is a famous Austrian painter on a worldwide scale for his abstracted informal art.

It occupies as from 1940 a post office with the Nationalpolitische Erziehungsanstalt (NAPOLA) (house of education for young people with Traiskirchen) but will leave it in 1944, apparently following a disagreement with the artistic teacher. It is at the request of his/her parents that it completes its studies with the Staatsgewerbeschule (vocational school of State) in 1949. This same year, it joined the Academy of Applied art of Vienna, but there will remain only one day there!

After an approach of the surrealism, which influenced it in its first years, it approaches to the taschism and the informal art. It is interested in the rough Art. He is more especially recognized today for his work in which he uses mixed techniques: on the basis of preexistent images, such as photographs, it recovers them painting, thus modifying the significance of the initial image. It in particular applied this process to crucifixes - thus contributing a share renewing to the sacred arts - with death masks or self-portraits made in a photomaton.

Since 1981, it occupies a place of professor to famous the Akademie der Bildenden Künste of Vienna. It is also into 1981 that the max-Beckmann-Preis (Price max Beckmann, of the name of a German artist of the beginning of the 20th century) is decreed to him.

To groove saw its art triumphing with creation in 1993 over the Museum Arnulf Rainer to New York.
