Ernst Fuchs Requiem St. Stephens Cathedral Vienna

11/27/2015

Auf die Fürsprache der Allerseligsten Jungfrau Maria, aller Engel und Heiligen, bitten wir Dich, Himmlischer Vater, schenke unserem Ernst, der jetzt heimgegangen ist, der sich in seinem Lebenswerk zu Dir und Deinem Sohn Jesus Christus bekannt hat, und den wir nun im Gebet und in unseren Gedanken auf seinen Weg begleiten, Dein Erbarmen, Frieden und Erlösung. Das Heilige Herz Jesu, aus dem so viele Gnadenströme fließen, möge sich öffnen für Ernst, Es möge ihm Pforte sein und ihm die ewige Anschauung Deiner Herrlichkeit gewähren!

Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, all the angels and saints, we beseech Thee, Heavenly Father, give our Ernst, who is now gone home, who has dedicated his life's work to you and your Son Jesus Christ, and whom we accompany now in our prayer and thoughts on his way, Your mercy, peace and salvation. The Sacred Heart of Jesus, from which so much grace flows, may be open to Ernst, that it may be his gate, through which the eternal contemplation of your glory is granted!

WOLFGANG HUTTER PASSED AWAY

10/18/2014

This is very sad - another Icon of the Fantastic Realists is gone. This would have gone largely unnoticed (what a shame, actually) were it not for Sigrid Nepelius posting in her German language webzine Phantastisch. A quick websearch reveals that there is nothing at all, other than this article on Phantastisch. The papers didn't notice, and neither the english nor the german wikipedia articles had been updated.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THIS ARTICLE:
The Phantasten Community mourns one of its greats. The Viennese painter and graphic artist Wolfgang Hutter (13 December 1928) passed away on September 26, 2014. Hutter was a founding member of the Art Club and one of the main representatives of the famous Vienna School of Fantastic Realism. His magical canvasses are worked out to the smallest detail and reveal his sensitive handwriting. Hutter's art encompasses also tapestries and mosaics such as the mosaic floor in the Theater an der Wien. For three decades, Wolfgang Hutter worked as a professor at the Vienna University of Applied Arts. In 1977 he received the Prize of the City of Vienna for Visual Arts, 2011 and he was honored with the Golden Medal for Service to the City of Vienna. Let's hope that the death of Wolfgang Hutter is no longer ignored in the public media. Such a large and internationally important Austrian artist and his family should in any case be granted the final tribute in the form of an honoring obituary. Many thanks to Gerhard Habarta without whom the sad news of the death of Wolfgang Hutter and this little obituary would not exist.

PLEASE NOTE:
We are currently rebuilding our website with a new theme - so temporarily this site is functional, but a construction zone.
Headers, background and certain special new functions will be built in, respectively changed. Additionally, most Slide Shows used to be embedded from our Private Social Network on Ning. Since Ning discontinued Flash some time ago, the space where the embedded slide shows supposed to be is blank!
We are working to fix this as well, but with over 500 pages for artists alone, this will take time.
