Die dargestellten jungen Menschen werden in unterschiedlichen Situationen in Pose gestellt, beeinflusst durch Medien, Idole und Trends. Beinahe fühlt man sich in eine Filmsequenz versetzt, durch Staffelung der Personen wird Tiefe erzeugt, ausschnitthaft werden pathetische Gesten simuliert. Die Komposition, der Aufbau scheinen genau durchdacht und doch -  alles soll in der jeweiligen Einstellung auf eine Zufälligkeit des Alltags verweisen.
Markus Muntean (Graz) und Adi Rosenblum (Haifa/Israel) arbeiten seit 1992 gemeinsam. Jugendkultur ist das Thema, das ihre Arbeiten beherrscht. Aber es ist nicht eine Kunst, die von Jugendlichen gemacht ist, sondern ein Statement von jungen Künstlern über eine Zeit, die vom ständigen Nacheifern von Idolen, von Streben nach Perfektion und dem Versuch, die Erwartungshaltungen der anderen zu befriedigen, gekennzeichnet ist.
„Everyone has one idea of freedom that allows no one else to have another“. So lautet der Text der 2001 vom Belvedere angekauften Arbeit, dargestellt werden zwei junge Männer. Ihre Haltung lässt eine gewisse Gleichgültigkeit und Langeweile erkennen. 
Die Arbeiten des Künstlerpaares bestehen aus unterschiedlichen Medien: Video, Malerei, Fotografie, Installation. Sie entstehen zum größten Teil durch den Einfluss von Life-Style und Fashionmagazinen, worin fast nie Abbildungen von reifen und erwachsenen Menschen zu finden sind, denn unsere Gesellschaft basiert auf dem Prinzip der Jugendlichkeit.
Bedeutend in der Verwertung der Magazine ist der Umstand, dass die Zwiespältigkeit zwischen Image und Wirklichkeit aufgezeigt werden soll. Dies geschieht aber allerdings nicht mit einer moralisierenden Komponente, sondern soll einzig und allein in das Leben junger Menschen Einblick gewähren. Adi Rosenblum und Markus Muntean sehen sich in dieser Funktion vor allem als Regisseure, die den Verlauf einer bestimmten Filmsequenz zu kontrollieren und zu beeinflussen vermögen.

In seinem Film "Dictio Pii" wandeln sieben Protagonisten durch ein Hotel. Trotz eines stark narrativen Charakters ist keine logische oder dramaturgische Abfolge der teils kafkaesken Szenen zu erkennen, einzig durch den gemeinsamen Schauplatz sind sie lose miteinander verbunden. Es wirkt, als habe man die Schlüsselszenen eines Films aneinandergereiht. Die Grundstimmung ist geprägt von einer unheimlichen und unheilvollen, tief beklemmenden Atmosphäre, diese wird durch eine treibende musikalische Begleitung verstärkt. Die Menschen in "Dictio Pii" wirken in ihrem Agieren unfrei und zwanghaft, teilweise sogar fremdbestimmt, Prothesen und einschränkende Eingriffe an Körper und Kleidung zwingen sie zu artifiziellen Gesten und Haltungen. Durch die Darsteller selbst erfährt der Betrachter nichts über die Motive ihres rätselhaften Tuns, sie bewegen sich in einer nonverbalen Welt, einzig die repetitive textliche Unterlegung des Films scheint Auskunft über Befindlichkeit und Selbstwahrnehmung zu geben: „[…] living in the sensation of being everything and the certitude of being nothing […] we are deranged.“ Markus Schinwald konstruiert und inszeniert eine kühle Wirklichkeit, nimmt Anleihen bei der darstellenden Kunst – seine Prothesen und Apparate wirken wie Maskierungen –, lädt die Szenerien durch Musik und ein wiederholt vorgetragenes kryptisches Textstück zusätzlich auf. Durch verschiedene raffiniert aufeinander abgestimmte und choreografierte Medien entsteht so ein komplexes Wirkungsgefüge. — [Véronique Aichner, 10/2011]</schema:description><schema:artForm>Film/video art</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/10591/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/4956/full</schema:image><schema:name>World Trade Center</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>2000</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Wolfgang Gantner, Ali Janka, Florian Reiter, Tobias Urban, Künstlergruppe gelatin]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Künstlergruppe gelatin</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Print on Fujiflex</schema:artMedium><schema:description>Am 19. März 2000 zwischen 6.15 und 6.30 Uhr traten gelatin aus einem Stipendiatenatelier im 91. Stock des World Trade Centers (WTC) in New York auf einen selbstgebauten und -installierten Balkon hinaus. Der Balkon war aus Holz und gerade groß genug, um einer Person Platz zu bieten. Als die Begehung zu Ende war, wurde der Balkon wieder abgebaut und die Fassade geschlossen. Von der Öffentlichkeit unbemerkt war mit dieser Aktion ein Projekt durchgeführt worden, das nur unter strenger Geheimhaltung zu planen und zu realisieren gewesen war. Zuerst mussten die Baumaterialien durch gezielte Ablenkung des Hauspersonals unbemerkt durch die Sicherheitseinrichtungen im Eingangsbereich transportiert werden. Danach mussten die Arbeiten unentdeckt bleiben, auch gegenüber den Stipendiaten der anderen Ateliers. Dem Perfektionismus und dem Anspruch von Macht in der Architektur des WTC setzten gelatin mit ihrem roh gezimmerten Provisorium ein Bekenntnis zum Provisorischen, zur Einfachheit und zur Risikobereitschaft entgegen. Aus vorangegangenen Recherchen war deutlich geworden, dass die Außenskulpturen des WTC nicht nur der ästhetischen Überhöhung des öffentlichen Raumes dienten, sondern zugleich auch getarnte Zufahrtssperren waren, die Angriffe durch terroristische Gruppen verhindern sollten. So wurde im Zuge eines auf Ablenkung und Täuschung basierenden Kunstprojekts deutlich, dass die auf das WTC Bauwerk bezogene Kunst ohnehin im Dienst des Täuschens und Tarnens stand. Den terroristischen Zugriff auf das Gebäude durch getarnte Kunst zu verhindern, fand in gelatins Vorgangsweise ein entwaffnendes Gegenbild, das nur noch schärfer wird, wenn diese Arbeit nach den Ereignissen von 9/11 einer Neuansicht unterzogen wird. — [Bettina Steinbrügge, 11/2011]</schema:description><schema:artForm>Photography</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/10454/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/9615/full</schema:image><schema:name>Shower Cubicle FN Systems c/ Y.P.B.G.</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1997</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Flora N.

Die von ihr gestalteten Projekte und Rauminstallationen, Objekte oder Drinks referenzieren Orte der Entspannung, der Versammlung oder der Zerstreuung. Dabei fordern sie starre institutionelle wie soziale Logiken und Regelwerke heraus. Eine formale Klammer von Galowitzs Arbeiten in verschiedenen Medien und Materialien ist das von ihr entwickelte FN Systems (nach den ehemaligen Initialen der Künstlerin). Mittels eines variablen Systems in den vier Grundfarben Gelb, Pink, Blau und Grün (Y.P.B.G.) macht sich Galowitz u. a. eine Duschkabine zu eigen, die sie in einem musikalischen Remixes vergleichbaren Verfahren adaptiert, neu kombiniert und inszeniert. Dabei erzeugt die Künstlerin aber nicht nur ästhetische Gebilde, sondern sie konstruiert kommunikative Knotenpunkte, deren Rezeption von den Interessen der Besucher*innen abhängt. — [Kerstin Krenn, in: Agnes Husslein-Arco, Severin Dünser, Luisa Ziaja (Hg.), Flirting with Strangers.

Elke Silvia Krystufek brazenly exhibits her own body. Launching her career as an artist in the early 1990s, the artist cultivates an image as an enfant terrible. Wrestling with the twin urges of narcissism and voyeurism, her works feature her as an artificial character or share highly intimate glimpses of her private life with the public. In this act of painterly exposure, Krystufek seeks to recapture the female nude as a medium of self-determination. It lets her be all in one: both active observer and passive image. As the artist herself feasts our eyes on her naked body, she disrupts the male regime of the gaze.</schema:description><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/10094/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/4945/full</schema:image><schema:name>[Slitting-Disc]</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1997</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Lois Renner]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Lois Renner</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Color photograph, plexiglass</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Photography</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/10032/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/88354/full</schema:image><schema:name>Untitled</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1994-1998</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Heimo Zobernig]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Heimo Zobernig</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Cardboard, wood, screws, felt-tip</schema:artMedium><schema:description>Crossing boundaries of media, the art of Heimo Zobernig, who emerged on the scene in the early 1980s, has been defined by searching reflections on colors, materials, and aesthetic effects.

The museum itself becomes the object of investigation. The box serving as base gestures toward the conditions under which works of art are presented, stored, shipped, and manipulated. By relying on the most inexpensive supplies, Zobernig also demonstrates how a work of art can question the legitimacy of its own presence in the museum setting.</schema:description><schema:artForm>Sculpture</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/10076/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/146178/full</schema:image><schema:name>Mansarde</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1987–1988</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Wolfgang Herzig]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Wolfgang Herzig</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/9489/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/6049/full</schema:image><schema:name>Untitled</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1982</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Hubert Schmalix]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Hubert Schmalix</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/10395/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/17341/full</schema:image><schema:name>[Spectators II]</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1979</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Florentina Pakosta]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Florentina Pakosta</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Charcoal and watercolor splashed on cardboard</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/9358/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/12767/full</schema:image><schema:name>[The Manipulated]</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1979</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Franz Ringel]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Franz Ringel</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Mixed media on paper on board</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/9801/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/138954/full</schema:image><schema:name>Triangle</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1975</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Kiki Kogelnik]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Kiki Kogelnik</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Acrylic, oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:description>Das facettenreiche Werk von Kiki Kogelnik – von frühen abstrakt-informellen Kompositionen, skulpturalen „Hangings“, farbintensiver, von Pop-Art beeinflusster Malerei bis zu zunehmend fragmentierten Körperbildern und –skulpturen – zählt zu den bedeutendsten Positionen österreichischer Kunst nach 1945. Nach künstlerischen Anfängen innerhalb der jungen Avantgarde im Umfeld der Wiener Galerie nächst St. Stephan übersiedelte Kogelnik 1962 nach New York, wo sie in Nachbarschaft zu Künstlerfreunden wie Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg und Andy Warhol eine eigenständige Variation der Pop-Art artikulierte. Der zweiten Welle des Feminismus begegnete Kogelnik in den 1970er-Jahren mit einer Reihe von Frauenbildern. In einer kritisch-ironischen Reflexion von in Werbung und Medien transportierten Schönheitsidealen und Klischees setzte sie dabei schablonenhaft und austauschbar wirkende Figuren in den typisierten Posen von Mannequins ins Bild. Übergroße Werkzeuge wie Korkenzieher, Scheren, Hämmer oder symbolträchtige Tiere wie Frösche, Eidechsen oder auch Schlangen fügen eine weitere assoziative Ebene hinzu. — [aus: Kerstin Krenn, in: Flirting with Strangers.

Self-examination in paintings is at the center of Maria Lassnig’s artistic exploration. In her body awareness painting she developed a visual language that revolves intensely around the relationship between how we perceive ourselves and how we are perceived by others. This iconic double self-portrait shows the artist depicted on the background canvas in a frontal standing pose, a confident filmmaker holding a camera. At the same time she appears in the foreground—pensive, introspective, seated. In her work she addresses with searing concentration representation, mediality, but also the emancipated gaze. Lassnig’s oeuvre of paintings and films, which was late in receiving due recognition, places her among the greatest Austrian artists from the second half of the 20th century.</schema:description><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/9319/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/17373/full</schema:image><schema:name>Roll over humanitas</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1969</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Curt Stenvert]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Curt Stenvert</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Mixed media on plywood, wood, plastic</schema:artMedium><schema:description>"Das Objekt mit der Werksnummer 414 wurde am 7.7.1969 fertiggestellt.

After a first performance held before a live audience, the camera’s lens becomes the only witness to Schwarzkogler’s actions. In 1966, the photographer Ludwig Hoffenreich, whom he has hired for the purpose, gathers sixty-one photographs from five different actions in this portfolio.</schema:description><schema:artForm>Photography</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/98565/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/9168/full</schema:image><schema:name>Ancient Tragedy</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1964</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Paul Meissner]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Paul Meissner</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Synthetic resin on hardboard</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/9449/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/7131/full</schema:image><schema:name>Self-Painting I</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1964</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Günter Brus]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Günter Brus</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Fotografie auf Karton aufgeklebt</schema:artMedium><schema:description>Günter Brus is regarded as an exponent of Viennese Actionism. “Self-Painting I” reenvisions the self-portrait in an effort to break free from the classical panel painting.

The two colors form a spiral, painted by hand, with contours that are deliberately left open. The abstract form of the spiral is the central motif in the oeuvre of Friedensreich Hundertwasser. Like the meditative raked grooves in a Japanese Zen garden, it is a symbolic representation of life, of its organic growth and eventual passing over into the infinite that is death. The artist received seminal impulses for the idea of a dynamic conception of the world from the works of Lao Tzu and Buddhist and Taoist writings. A painter, architect, and environmental activist, Hundertwasser was far ahead of his time in his engagement with the “green” concerns to which his work owes its unfading relevance.</schema:description><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/4246/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/6007/full</schema:image><schema:name>Adam and Eve</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1955</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Wolfgang Hutter]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Wolfgang Hutter</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on paper on fiberboard</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/9043/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/6936/full</schema:image><schema:name>Standing Figure</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>c. 1960</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Joannis Avramidis]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Joannis Avramidis</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Bronze auf dünner Eisenplatte</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Sculpture</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/9110/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/12815/full</schema:image><schema:name>Color Experiment “Composition 55”</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1955</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Wolfgang Hollegha]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Wolfgang Hollegha</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/9202/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/6010/full</schema:image><schema:name>Fishing at Night</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1955</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Arik Brauer]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Arik Brauer</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on hardboard</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/9214/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/50577/full</schema:image><schema:name>Construction II</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1953</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Josef Mikl]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Josef Mikl</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on hardboard</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/9208/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/5295/full</schema:image><schema:name>Summer and Winter</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1951</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Anton Lehmden]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Anton Lehmden</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Tempera on hardboard</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/3420/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/12819/full</schema:image><schema:name>Picture in Brown and Blue</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>Ca 1954</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Markus Prachensky]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Markus Prachensky</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/9454/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/7628/full</schema:image><schema:name>Foliage</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1949</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Herbert Bayer]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Herbert Bayer</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/1765/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/162472/full</schema:image><schema:name>Large Seated Figure ("Human Cathedral")</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1949</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Fritz Wotruba]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Fritz Wotruba</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Mannersdorf limestone</schema:artMedium><schema:description>
Fritz Wotruba kehrt im Dezember 1945 nach sieben Jahren Exil in der Schweiz nach Wien zurück. Künstlerisch befindet sich der Bildhauer, der in der Folge eine zentrale Rolle für die österreichische wie die internationale Plastik der Nachkriegsmoderne einnehmen wird, zu dieser Zeit an einem Scheideweg. Er bricht mit der reduzierten Stilisierung der vergangenen Jahre und entwickelt ein neues Konzept für die Komposition der Figur. Dieses ist vom französischen Kubismus angeregt. Es zeigt jedoch ein eigenständiges Gestaltungsprinzip, das eine Abstrahierung und Tektonisierung, also eine Art flächige Gliederung, verfolgt, aber an der Ausgangsform der menschlichen Figur festhält. Die sichtbaren Bearbeitungsspuren lassen die Oberfläche der streng frontalen monumentalen Gestaltung felsig erscheinen und betonen die Materialität des Steins. </schema:description><schema:artForm>Sculpture</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/3524/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/25297/full</schema:image><schema:name>Erzberg II</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1947</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Herbert Boeckl]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Herbert Boeckl</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/9185/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/142841/full</schema:image><schema:name>Diving Bird</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1939</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Erika Giovanna Klien]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Erika Giovanna Klien</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:description>
Erika Giovanna Klien was one of the most important exponents of Viennese Kineticism. Her works are characterized by depictions of sequences of movement composed out of geometric forms. On the threshold between non-representational and figurative art, Diving Bird evokes the impression of a smooth wingbeat by capturing each moment of the bird’s swoop in a fanned array of forms and colors. Movement is dissected into its separate stages as if seen in slow motion. Rhythm, speed, and motion remained key themes in Klien’s art after she emigrated to the USA in 1929. It was here that she created her Diving Bird in 1939. </schema:description><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/10373/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/3586/full</schema:image><schema:name>Abstract Composition</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1938</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Kurt Weber]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Kurt Weber</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/1665/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/5246/full</schema:image><schema:name>Prague Harbour</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1936</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Oskar Kokoschka]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Oskar Kokoschka</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:description>Als Kokoschka das Bild des Prager Flusshafens malt, lebt er bereits zwei Jahre in der Tschechei. Er hatte Wien aufgrund der politischen und wirtschaftlichen Verhältnisse im Jahr 1934 verlassen. Der Tod seiner Mutter und die spürbare Isolation vom internationalen Kunstgeschehen verstärkten seinen Entschluss, Wien zu verlassen. Zahlreiche Zeichnungen und Gemälde mit Prager Stadtansichten entstehen in der Prager Zeit bis zur Flucht nach London im Oktober 1938. Kokoschka malt die Brücke an der Moldau aus erhöhtem Standpunkt, wie er es bereits in seinen Hafenbildern aus Monte Carlo, Marseille (beide 1925), Hamburg  und London (beide 1926) praktizierte. Im Gegensatz zu den in diesem Raum gezeigten Bildern ist die Farbpalette heller und reiner in den Farbtönen. Die Pinselführung ist schraffierend und evoziert in ihrer Dynamik eine starke wirbelartige, atmosphärische Bewegung. — [Harald Krejci, 4/2010]</schema:description><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/2176/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/4828/full</schema:image><schema:name>View of Manhattan (East River)</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1935–1938</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Wilhelm Thöny]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Wilhelm Thöny</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on cardboard</schema:artMedium><schema:description>Wilhelm Thöny studied at the academy in Munich and returned in 1923 to Graz, where he co-founded the Graz Secession.

After a first visit in 1933 to New York, which featured in his paintings thereafter, the couple planned a longer stay in 1938 but ended up settling there permanently on account of the war. Thöny organized numerous exhibitions in the USA but at the same time remained largely isolated from the New York art scene. Several hundred works, the majority of his œuvre, were destroyed in a warehouse fire in March 1948. </schema:description><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/3418/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/5242/full</schema:image><schema:name>Alexandra Gütersloh</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1934</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Albert Paris Gütersloh]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Albert Paris Gütersloh</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:description>The three-dimensionality and rigorous structure of Albert Paris Gütersloh’s portrait of his daughter Alexandra is typical of the New Objectivity style that dominated the artist’s work in the 1930s.

His art was labeled “degenerate” and he was dismissed as a professor at the School of Applied Arts. In 1945, after World War II, he was summoned to the Academy of Fine Arts and helped define the Austrian postwar movement known as the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism. He was also the first president of the Art Club initiated by Gustav Kurt Beck. </schema:description><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/2083/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/102536/full</schema:image><schema:name>Still Life with Two Heads</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1932</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Rudolf Wacker]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Rudolf Wacker</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on wood</schema:artMedium><schema:description>Wacker has arranged four items for this still life: a bird suspended by a barely visible string, a child’s drawing on the wall, and, further down, on the table, a wig head and a vase containing a single flower. Each of the objects exists by itself, and yet their placement relative to one another suggests subtle interconnections between them. Wacker was concerned with the “world of the visible.” An exponent of the New Objectivity, he sought to show things as they are. His pictures exude an air of cool dispassion—of “objectivity”—yet they are also quite affecting. The wig head, in particular, makes for a piteous sight. The Berlin-based sculptor Lily Gräf, in 1934, found its flayed “skin” and splintered nose more than she could bear.</schema:description><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/2084/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/84476/full</schema:image><schema:name>Balloon Seller</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1931</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Otto Rudolf Schatz]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Otto Rudolf Schatz</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:description>
Otto Rudolf Schatz returned from World War I as a committed pacifist. In his subsequent works, the artist critically commented on the misery, loneliness, and crime in the big city. This motif of the cool and melancholy Balloon Seller thus calls to mind the seedy side of the Prater amusement park in Vienna. The fact that the buyer is not visible makes space for sinister associations. In 1938 Schatz was banned from producing and exhibiting art and went underground in Prague over the ensuing years. He was arrested in 1944 and deported to different labor camps and to Gräditz concentration camp. After World War II, Schatz returned to Vienna and documented the rebuilding and recovery of the city in his paintings.</schema:description><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/1622/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/12782/full</schema:image><schema:name>Roofs</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1931</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Franz Lerch]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Franz Lerch</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/2143/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/4806/full</schema:image><schema:name>Reclining Woman with Book and Irises</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1931</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Max Beckmann]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Max Beckmann</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:description>Sie hat es sich bequem gemacht.

Einen Hinweis darauf bieten die grauen Hausschuhe, die die Dargestellte trägt. </schema:description><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/2914/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/4820/full</schema:image><schema:name>Landscape with Spire</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>c. 1923</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Jean Egger]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Jean Egger</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/3182/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/4909/full</schema:image><schema:name>The Artist's Family</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1928</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Anton Kolig]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Anton Kolig</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/8690/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/4906/full</schema:image><schema:name>Portrait of the Isepp Family</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1927/1928</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Franz Wiegele]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Franz Wiegele</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:description>Dargestellt ist die Familie Isepp mit Hubert Isepp sen., die Gattin Anna Isepp und den Kindern Grete und Hubert jun.

Austrian painter Herbert Ploberger has staged a large number of objects in this interior space dominated by light and shadow. A fruit still life with a pineapple and lemons is positioned on a chair. A lush bouquet of flowers in a vase radiates from the right edge of the picture. Opened wine bottles, a half-filled glass, an open newspaper, and the washbasin mark the absence of one or more people in this sober, tidy-looking composition. Ploberger worked primarily as a stage and costume designer. This picture, done in the New Objectivity style, is also reminiscent of a theater stage, where things seem frozen in silent dialogue. </schema:description><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/4839/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/92874/full</schema:image><schema:name>The Philharmonic</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1926–1952</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Maximilian Oppenheimer]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Maximilian Oppenheimer</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil and tempera on canvas, mounted on wood</schema:artMedium><schema:description>
Developing on an earlier version, in 1926 Max Oppenheimer started working in Vienna on his life’s masterpiece originally called The Concert. It was a painting of the orchestra conducted by Gustav Mahler. He combined both group and individual portraits and atmospherically translated the effects of music into painting. In 1938 Oppenheimer showed the triptych in Zurich. From there he had to flee to New York to escape Nazism. The wood panels followed him by ship in 1939 and thereafter were exhibited in America on many occasions, including at the San Francisco World’s Fair. The artist repeatedly reworked the painting. It was his wish to show The Philharmonic in Vienna. In 1954, this return to Vienna was about to happen, but Oppenheimer died shortly before his departure. The work was bought by the Republic of Austria that same year. </schema:description><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/9293/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/12776/full</schema:image><schema:name>City with Viaduct</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>c. 1930</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Louis Casimir Ladislas Marcoussis]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Louis Casimir Ladislas Marcoussis</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/1099/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/4776/full</schema:image><schema:name>Dead Rabbits</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1925</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Albin Egger-Lienz]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Albin Egger-Lienz</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on cardboard</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/2094/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/120043/full</schema:image><schema:name>The Ship of Fools</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1923</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Oskar Laske]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Oskar Laske</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Tempera and gold leaf on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:description>Ein Schiff bahnt sich den Weg durch die stürmische See. An Deck herrscht ein unglaubliches Gewimmel. Zwischen den Masten sind eine Kirche und ein Prozessionszug zu erkennen. Rundherum wird gefeiert, marschiert, gemordet. Mit einem Wort: Die Welt ist aus den Fugen geraten. Es gibt keine Ordnung und keine Orientierung mehr, womit Laske das Lebensgefühl vieler Menschen nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg und dem Ende der Habsburgermonarchie zum Ausdruck bringt. Als literarische Grundlage diente Sebastian Brants Moralsatire Das Narrenschiff von 1494. Laske „übersetzte“ den historischen Text in seine Zeit und integrierte Persönlichkeiten des Wiener Kulturlebens, darunter Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele und Helene Funke.</schema:description><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/8187/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/5432/full</schema:image><schema:name>Girl with Foliage Plant</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1923</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Karl Hofer]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Karl Hofer</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/8301/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/7673/full</schema:image><schema:name>Meerweibchen</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>1921</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Georg Kolbe]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Georg Kolbe</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Bronze</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Sculpture</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/3091/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/5401/full</schema:image><schema:name>Houses</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>c. 1920</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Maurice de Vlaminck]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Maurice de Vlaminck</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Oil on canvas</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Painting</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/8080/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement><schema:itemListElement><schema:VisualArtwork><schema:image>/internal/media/dispatcher/15780/full</schema:image><schema:name>Jutta</schema:name><schema:dateCreated>undated</schema:dateCreated><schema:creator>[Heinz Leinfellner]</schema:creator><schema:creator>Heinz Leinfellner</schema:creator><schema:artMedium>Bronze</schema:artMedium><schema:artForm>Sculpture</schema:artForm><schema:url>https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/9324/rdf</schema:url></schema:VisualArtwork></schema:itemListElement></schema:ItemList></rdf:RDF>
