Any chance of a book on Gottfried Helnwein? Incredible artist. Quite breath-taking. His website is a treasure trove of images and information. Maybe add it to your 'Related Links' section?

Verder in de biblo een boek gekeken van de oostenrijkse kunstenaar Helnwein. Heel inspirerend. Mooie fotos zijn (in mijn optiek) toch meer een foto van durf. Ideeën genoeg, maar je moet ze durven uitvoeren.

-- and the exhibit's defacement by vandals shortly after it was unveiled.
Directed by Henning Lohner and featuring on-camera appearances by Helnwein collectors Sean Penn and Jason Lee, the documentary short is largely the product of the passion and persistence of Malibu producer Gisela Guttman. When she struggled to find a venue in Los Angeles willing to show Helnwein's large-scale installation, she decided to make a documentary instead.
The art installation, which revolves around a series of pictures of small children, was vandalized after its initial showing in Germany.
"The one thing I wanted to do is just be sure that people can see the entire installation, I just really wanted to bring it to Los Angeles, no matter how," Guttman said. "The power of those images really comes across on-screen, and that's what I wanted people to see and to think about." ...

Winging in from far-off and far-out corners of the world: German artist Gottfried Helnwein (here for the opening of "Modern Sleep'' at Modernism Gallery); actress Winona Ryder, who'd just landed at SFO from La-La land; and from the Gold Coast, Ann Getty and Jo Schuman Silver, popping by after a trunk show Ann hosted for Alyssa Boothby's Cracquer Jacque jewelry. ...

"Well, probably intentionally, except for moments of non-sober discussion, I've sort of made it a conscious effort to not analyze anything I love too much.
And I love this art, and for me part of the reason I think is a professional reason - for me as somebody who aspires to creativity myself. When you find someone in the arts, whether it's in your medium or in another medium, that raises the bar for you, that reinvigorates your own pursuit of affecting people and out of a sharing what you count on as some kind of a common chord in us. Whether it's through imagry, words, sounds.
I think that as an artist my strongest reaction to Helnwein's work is that it challenges me to be better at what I do. There are very few people that achieve utter excellence in what they do.
And I think that Gottfried Helnwein is certainly one of those people."

小夏和大家一起分享系列之六：我最近对Helnwein的画品赏析及他的一些作品：）
作者: 安藤夏
Helnwein，奥地利著名画家。为一般人所知是他为曼森专辑所设计的封面和CD彩页——孩童和枪，似乎怀着恶意和颠覆在向一切冷冷微笑。这一系列的造型，成为了后来美国校园枪机案后曼森遭受指责的直接原因。
　　 我观察Helnwein的艺术创作，发现这样几个特点。首先是他的作品集中于表现孩童。他早期的油画作品大都是一些缠着绷带，带着缝线伤口向你诡异微笑的孩童，咧开撕裂缝合的嘴角，那是小小的孩子渗入骨髓的恐惧和恶意。摄象作品则很多都是儿童的各中头像。其次，他的作品另一部分是自画像，表现淡定透视自身欲望暗流的冰冷潮湿。他在大部分水粉和素描的自画象中都是头缠绷带，带着黑色墨镜，温柔而恐怖。最后，进入90年代后，他的作品集中于媒体合成和摄象上。虽然更能表达都市现代感，但我还是偏爱他早些时候的童话一般柔若无骨缓缓撕开皮肤的优雅从容。
　　 一直都很奇怪为什么Helnwein会选择孩童的伤口，孩童的恶意是他作品从始自终的切入点。作为二战后出生的一代人，Helnwein或许丝毫未受到战后婴儿潮的沾染，成为高唱爱与和平的嬉皮。他选择了另一条道路，通过死亡，战争，童谣般的恶意，单纯幼稚面孔上的可怕撕裂，那些永远静止的凝滞的扭曲的儿童的面孔摄象来表达自身对人性恶的一面和战争的一种反思。 ...

"NINTH NOVEMBER NIGHT"
2003, USA, Director/Producer: Henning Lohner; Producer: Gisela Guttman ...

"La función del artista es evocar la experiencia del reconocimiento sorpresivo: mostrarle al espectador lo que él sabe pero no sabe que sabe. Y Helnwein es un maestro del reconocimiento sorpresivo".
William Burroughs
Así describe el mismo Burroughs al austríaco Gottfried Helnwein, maestro del retrato en todas sus formas, principalmente en fotografía y video, aunque también en dibujo y pintura. Su obra se exhibe generalmente en gigantescas instalaciones, y también se extiende al cine y performances teatrales. Considerado por muchos como ‘repulsivo’, lo cierto es que incluso ha llegado a captar las figuras de personalidades como Bukowski, Burroughs, Andy Warhol, Lou Reed y Keith Richards, entre otros. ...

How easy it is to pass by the things we do not understand and hand out a label that might comfort our ignorance. I could have v-lined for the exit, ignored my curiosity and not given the exhibit another thought. But how could have that helped me? How could I take and grow from that experience? Proverbs says to seek after understanding like silver, to turn my heart to understanding. Because I decided to seek and understand Helnwein’s art, I was able to see the empathy God has blessed him with – the explicit visions he is able to create to awaken our naive hearts to the sound of our children’s pain. ...
