/internal/media/dispatcher/28360/fullUntitled1983[Hermann Nitsch]Hermann NitschAcrylic on canvas In the 1960s, the painter and Actionist Hermann Nitsch started working on his idea of the Orgien-Mysterien-Theater (Theater of Orgies and Mysteries). The concept combined drama, cult, music, and painting and aimed to explore one’s own existence in a sensual, ritualistic, and provocative way. A fundamental part of the orchestration was the highly physical and gestural use of paint or animal blood, an approach Nitsch developed out of Viennese Actionism. This roughly six-meter-long work was created in summer 1983 as part of the 16th Action at Prinzendorf Palace. Carefree, fresh, and spontaneous was how Nitsch described this action, which involved using his bare hands to apply buckets of blood-red paint on the canvas stretched across the wall.Paintinghttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/15761/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/114174/fullDie Schastrommel1969[Gerhard Rühm, Günter Brus, Otmar Bauer, Hermann Nitsch]Günter BrusPapier (Faksimile), geheftetBook arthttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/84390/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/114175/fullDie Schastrommel 31970[Hermann Nitsch, Peter Gorsen, Rudolf Schwarzkogler, Otto Muehl, Gerhard Rühm, Günter Brus, Ludwig Gosewitz, Oswald Wiener, Otmar Bauer]Günter BrusPapier, gebundenBook arthttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/84391/rdf
