Oswald Oberhuber is among the most important Austrian artists of his generation. Through his work as an exhibition curator, gallerist, designer, and rector of what is now the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, he also had a formative influence on the local art scene. His principle of permanent change, formulated as early as the mid-1950s, characterizes an artistic practice of constant transformation that deliberately rejects a consistent, recognizable style and resists any clear categorization. This attitude is reflected in Oberhuber’s multimedia oeuvre, which ranges from sculpture, painting, collage, and assemblage to pictures featuring writing and numbers, large textile works, and drawings. Alongside depictions of groups of figures and portraits, animals are recurring motifs. In „Female Cat and Male Cat“, the wide-open mouths are accentuated by a strong red, and the two animals are endowed with human sexual traits, symbolically revealing animalistic instincts within human structures of desire.Painting1237327793680Belvedere 21image/jpegFoto: Johannes Stoll / Belvedere, Wienhttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/internal/media/dispatcher/138847/fullmeadow, pasturecathttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-93680/manifest
