Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco

Robert Flynn Johnson

..A clarity of vision in his subject matter was emerging in Helnwein's art that was to stay consistent throughout his career. His subject matter is the human condition. The metaphor for his art, although it included self-portraits, is dominated by the image of the child, but not the carefree innocent child of popular imagination. Helnwein instead created the profoundly disturbing yet compellingly provocative image of the wounded child. The child scarred physically and the child scarred emotionally from within. . "Children and lunatics cut the Gordian knot, which the poet spends his life patiently trying to untie." Jean Cocteau mehr...

The couple exchanged vows after dark at a private ceremony in the home of their artist friend Gottfried Helnwein.

Shock-rocker Marilyn Manson tied the knot with his burlesque bride Dita Von Teese in a secret ceremony in Tipperary last night. The couple exchanged vows after dark at a private ceremony in the home of their artist friend Gottfried Helnwein. The stately Irish castle where Helnwein lives with his family was transformed into a gothic fortress as pals including Lisa Marie Presley, Johnny Depp, Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie arrived for the event. As darkness fell, former stripper Dita, 32, walked through the gothic arches of the castle's Great Hall to the sound of a harp - dressed in a stunning gown designed by Vivienne Westwood and corset expert Mr. Pearl. mehr...

"Ich wollte im Gegensatz zu allen Kollegen, die ich kenne, nie Künstler werden", erzählt Gottfried Helnwein. Eine Auswahl seiner Werke ist ab März in Linz zu sehen.

"Ich wollte im Gegensatz zu allen Kollegen, die ich kenne, nie Künstler werden", erzählt Gottfried Helnwein. Eine Auswahl seiner Werke ist ab März in Linz zu sehen. Meine Arbeit war eigentlich immer ein Versuch mit dem, was auf mich einwirkt, zurecht zu kommen oder zu darauf zu reagieren und manchmal auch sich zu wehren oder zurückzuschlagen. Ich wollte einfach alles erleben und ausprobieren und habe mir auch eine große Reihe von Feinden gemacht. Ich habe nie in dem Sinn karrierestrategisch gedacht. Ich arbeite mit vielen verschiedenen Medien sehr eklektizistisch. Ich glaube, das ist die einzige Form, in der man als Künstler heutzutage mit so viel Information umgehen kann. Ich mache Fotografie, Malerei, Bühnenbilder, Videos. Jetzt arbeite ich mit Sean Penn an einem Filmprojekt. Diese Grenzüberschreitung ist für mich immer ganz wichtig gewesen. Für mich gibt es diese Barriere zwischen verschiedenen Medien oder Stilen nicht so sehr. mehr...

San Francisco Chronicle

Gottfried Helnwein's "Untitled" (2005), oil and acrylic on canvas, features an unsettling dreamlike encounter.

In one large painting, a girl sits on the edge of a bed in a barren room, staring into space. A giant blue rabbit with sightless insect eyes stands before her, clad in some sort of military garb. Despite their proximity, the two figures seem to occupy different dimensions. The frightful effect of the rabbit figure appears to register more in us than in the child whose vision we may be spying on. The vaguely erotic menace of the rabbit figure flares in another untitled picture in which a sort of Mad Hatter figure, all in yellow and masked, leans in to touch a sleeping girl with a gloved hand. For all the pictures' realism and their echoes of Lewis Carroll, they evoke psychological rather than literal monstrosity: the betrayal of innocence by imagination as well as reality. mehr...

Look at Helnwein's painting under Visual Sociology

Help us find visual, aural, metaphors that will let others understand the importance of engagement in this process. Look at Helnwein's painting under Visual Sociology. I left it up. What was Helnwein saying? Why was he willing to offend. Why do Beau and Michael want to shake us up? How are those things related? Why did one of my students make a giant box that when opened had a lovely smiling face inside that said "F^&* the Patriot Act"?? Isn't that a lot like what Helnwein and Kiefer and Beuys were doing? Maybe saying "wake up and look at what you're doing?" mehr...

The Stiletto Projects

Alexander Natas

A virtuoso and a visionary with one eye behind the veil of the world, the other reflecting endless horror, beauty, loss, humour and melancholy - all with a steady hand. The position is supreme, the means are penetrating and the message as deep as it gets. To me the strange silent directness in Helnweins work is unrivaled, no other artist today tells the dim story of the world in a more disturbing and moving way. His work, views and perspectives are completely congruent and appeals to me in a very direct and personal way. mehr...
