In the middle of the 70's, after living for a while in California,
the painter freed his human subjects from their "extreme situations".
There now appeared several quiet landscape paintings, in their centers
a visible, inner strength-like "energy field". In the second
half of the 70's, as reported in the 1982 catalogue:"there was
no continual work as a painter (stage design and film architect)".
This was followed in the early 80's by a very impressive series in
black oil crayon, portraying sinking ships and silhouette-like, shadowy
figures between "tribute" and "disregard", which
belongs to one of the best Wondrusch series.
In the middle of the 80's the artist began his commissioned works. A 64 m long
oil painting, for Austrian publicity in the United States, illustrates Austria's
music history; works are also created for the casinos in Vienna and Baden, such
as the painting "Hommage to Hans Zatzka." |
