Interview with Gottfried Helnwein
Andreas Maeckler
ANDREAS MAECKLER TALKS WITH GOTTFRIED HELNWEIN
Gottfried Helnwein, "PAINTINGS SHOULD BE LIKE ROCK MUSIC"
The painter of stark, often provocative pictures was interviewed by Andreas Maeckler.
The result is exciting to read from beginning to end. Helnwein expresses himself in an outspoken and direct manner, without letting himself be drawn into profound theories. It is interesting to note that he confesses not to be able to say why he paints a picture. "I have never met an artist who thinks about this while he is working. And whenever he does comment about this, he must be lying." (Münchner Merkur, June 4. 1992) |
