PSYCHO DRAWINGArt brut and the ‘60s and ‘70s in Austria
(Venerdì) — (Domenica)
In the first decades after World War Two, Austrian artists were in search of authentic expression in art, untouched by history. As in other places, the 1960s and 1970s were also marked in Austria by the crossing of borders between art and life, new genres in art, drug experiments, and by new, integrative models of society. Abstract art, works by indigenous peoples, works by children and by mentally handicapped people were regarded as unspoiled and authentic. Some artists also found their way to formal solutions reminiscent of Art brut at the same time or earlier, but apart from those influences. In the exhibition Art brut drawings and drawings pervaded by the psyche by Austrian artists are presented together, conveying the artistic intentions, marked by the spirit of the times, of a generation seeking to leave outmoded structures behind once and for all.
