15/internal/media/dispatcher/59387/fullSchüttbild mit Malhemd2011[Hermann Nitsch]Hermann NitschAcrylic and shirt on jute The acclaimed painter and action artist Hermann Nitsch’s work on his vision of an Orgies Mysteries Theater goes back to the 1960s. Uniting theater, cult, concert, and painting, the conception calls for a richly sensual, ritualized, and provocative experience prompting the spectators to contemplate their own existence. A characteristic feature of Nitsch’s art is the use of the splattering technique, which he has honed since the days of Viennese Actionism. This “Splatter Picture with Painter’s Shirt” dates from the 59th Action at Prinzendorf Palace in the summer of 2011. It belongs to the genre Nitsch calls fountain pictures: he places a small format atop a large canvas, splatters it with paint, and then replaces it with a painter’s shirt.Paintinghttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/59652/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/28237/fullUntitled2009[Hermann Nitsch]Hermann NitschEtchingPrinthttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/18845/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/59386/fullMZM_046_092009[Hermann Nitsch]Hermann NitschAcrylic on jutePaintinghttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/50373/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/122719/fullSchüttbild aus der 40.

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/114195/fullDie Drossel 151976[Günter Brus, Hermann Nitsch]Günter BrusDruck auf Papier, 120 SeitenBook arthttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/84402/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/114193/fullDie Drossel 131975[Christian Ludwig Attersee, Günter Brus, Maria Lassnig, Arnulf Rainer, Dieter Roth, Otto Muehl, Hermann Nitsch, Gerhard Rühm, Oswald Wiener, Dominik Steiger]Günter BrusDruck auf Papier, 96 SeitenBook arthttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/84400/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/114176/fullDie Schastrommel 61972[Günter Brus, Dieter Roth, Hermann Nitsch, Georg Baselitz, Antonius Höckelmann]Günter BrusDruck auf PapierBook arthttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/84392/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/114175/fullDie Schastrommel 31970[Günter Brus, Rudolf Schwarzkogler, Otto Muehl, Hermann Nitsch, Peter Gorsen, Gerhard Rühm, Oswald Wiener, Otmar Bauer, Ludwig Gosewitz]Günter BrusPapier, gebundenBook arthttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/84391/rdf/internal/media/dispatcher/114174/fullDie Schastrommel1969[Günter Brus, Hermann Nitsch, Gerhard Rühm, Otmar Bauer]Günter BrusPapier (Faksimile), geheftetBook arthttps://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/objects/84390/rdf
