Fritz Aigner Figurative Drawings and Watercolors

Austrian, 1930-2005
Fritz Aigner wurde am 13. Juli 1930 in Linz (Österreich) geboren und verstarb am 9. Januar 2005 ebenda. Er war ein bedeutender österreichischer Maler und Grafiker mit einem umfangreichen, stilistisch vielseitigen Werk. Nach seiner Schulzeit begann er 1947 ein Studium an der Akademie der bildenden Künste in Wien, wo er bei Robin Christian Andersen und Albert Paris Gütersloh lernte. Für seine Abschlussarbeit „Die Klage des verlorenen Sohnes“ erhielt er 1952 den renommierten Staatspreis. Aigner arbeitete zeitweise in London, Spanien und Irland, ließ sich jedoch schließlich wieder in Linz nieder. Sein Werk vereint klassische Technik mit modernen, oft surrealen, symbolhaften und gesellschaftskritischen Inhalten. Wegen seiner dramatischen Lichtführung und malerischen Tiefe wurde er auch als „Rembrandt von Linz“ bezeichnet. Neben Ölgemälden schuf er Radierungen, Hinterglasbilder und zahlreiche Zeichnungen. Ein zentrales Thema in Aigners Kunst ist der Mensch – oft dargestellt in grotesken, überzeichneten Formen, zwischen Komik und Tragik. Religion, Sexualität, Tod und politische Anspielungen ziehen sich wie ein roter Faden durch sein Werk. Besonders bekannt sind auch seine „Irischen Zeichnungen“, die während eines Aufenthalts in Irland in den 1960er Jahren entstanden und zu den ausdrucksstärksten seiner Karriere zählen. Fritz Aigner war Mitglied der Wiener Secession. Er hinterließ ein umfangreiches Werk, das heute u. a. im Lentos Kunstmuseum Linz, im Nordico Stadtmuseum und in zahlreichen Privatsammlungen vertreten ist.
