O. R. Schatz & Carry Hauser.
In the Age of Extremes
In the Age of Extremes
Otto Schatz (1900–1961) and Carry Hauser (1895–1985) may have been overshadowed by their more famous contemporaries such as Schiele and Kokoschka, but their artwork remains a compelling reflection of a turbulent era. War, exile, and the radically shifting terrain of twentieth-century political systems left their mark on the artists’ biographies. The exhibition reacquaints visitors with these two significant Austrian artists active principally in the realm of drawing and printmaking. Placing the work of Schatz and Hauser into dialogue opens up discussions about a broad spectrum of artistic expression ranging from Cubism, Expressionism and New Objectivity to the realism of the postwar years. Dominant themes include human existence in an age of extremes and the metropolis in its various guises – from pulsating life to misery and isolation.
