Gain a comprehensive insight into his work
The exhibition „Verletzt“ offers a comprehensive insight into the multifaceted body of work by Hannes Schwarz, which is characterised by existential questions and stylistic evolution. His early abstract works from the 1950s were followed, from 1959 onwards, by experimental printmaking techniques. From the mid-1960s onwards, the focus then shifted to the vulnerable, distorted human figure. Around 1975, the „Verletzt“ series marked a turning point towards reduced, landscape-like pictorial spaces. In these works, Schwarz explores the vulnerability of the human condition.
The exhibition is part of the 2026 special exhibitions. You can read more about it on the page Contemporary art within old walls.
