Gottfried Helnwein is known for his hyper-realistic images and his
photo portraits of celebrities such as Mick Jagger, Michael
Jackson, Andy Warhol, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Marilyn Manson and the
band Rammstein. In his provocative images, he articulates themes of
violence and abuse in ways that are as compelling as they are
shocking. In particular, children, whose innocence, naivety and
tenderness he brings into focus, are projection surfaces for him.
From Wagner and Nietzsche, a stringent arc develops to Hitler's
propaganda machinery, the staged epic mass marches of the SS, and
leads in Helnwein's case not least to his great Carl Barks
admiration, whereby he himself fits Mickey Mouse into the context
of Nazi rule. This book is dedicated for the first time to this
level of reflection in Helnwein's work and first summarises those
dark paintings in which the image is developed out of blackness and
deep blue (as a romantic keynote) and leads over to the atrocities
of the Nazi regime, in that in particular the experiments on
imprisoned persons and those segregated into psychiatric wards
underpin the racial ideology. Text in English and German.
