Karl Mostböck
Exhibition from 13.10.2021 — 20.11.2021
Karl Mostböck, born in Grein (Upper Austria) in 1921, was an autodidact from 1946 onwards and continuously occupied himself with European art history. Landscapes, nudes and still lifes are the themes of his early paintings. From 1964 onwards, the influence of Zen Buddhism asserted itself in his work. From 1985 onwards, informal elements increasingly flowed into his work. The detachment from the representational enabled the artist to intertwine Zen painting with the informal.
Karl Mostböck is considered an Austrian representative of informal and scriptural painting. On the occasion of his 100th birthday On the occasion of the artist’s 100th birthday, works on paper from his oeuvre will be shown in the exhibition.
