Hermann Nitsch

draughtsman

Hermann Nitsch’s next solo exhibition at Galerie Jahn und Jahn presents the artist of the Gesamtkunstwerk as a draughtsman with a selection of works from six decades.
The spectrum of Hermann Nitsch’s drawings ranges from early figure studies, architectural drawings and sketches for his theatre to informal scribble drawings.

“the essentially creative act is grounded in the timeless, in the beginning and endless, in the infinite abyss, in infinity, where all is spaceless, the void. when one severs him/herself from past and future and lives in the moment. experiencing the moment of the creative event, one acts out of the timeless ground (causelessness), of isness. becomes the fact that is deepens into this scribbling beginninglessness and endlessness.”
