ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THIS ARTICLE:
The Phantasten Community mourns one of its greats. The Viennese painter and graphic artist Wolfgang Hutter (13 December 1928) passed away on September 26, 2014. Hutter was a founding member of the Art Club and one of the main representatives of the famous Vienna School of Fantastic Realism. His magical canvasses are worked out to the smallest detail and reveal his sensitive handwriting. Hutter's art encompasses also tapestries and mosaics such as the mosaic floor in the Theater an der Wien. For three decades, Wolfgang Hutter worked as a professor at the Vienna University of Applied Arts. In 1977 he received the Prize of the City of Vienna for Visual Arts, 2011 and he was honored with the Golden Medal for Service to the City of Vienna. Let's hope that the death of Wolfgang Hutter is no longer ignored in the public media. Such a large and internationally important Austrian artist and his family should in any case be granted the final tribute in the form of an honoring obituary. Many thanks to Gerhard Habarta without whom the sad news of the death of Wolfgang Hutter and this little obituary would not exist. The Vienna School of Fantastic Realism I found this posting below by fellow artist Susannah Martin on Facebook. I also remember sharing the post from the Huffington Post Arts & Culture article and am equally upset by this censorship, so I decided to share this via my blog.
The Huffington Post, Arts & Culture Section, September 26th 2014 A Female Artist Paints Female Nudes Without The Erotic Undertones (NSFW)Think about the history of nude portraiture. Which paintings come to mind? Manet's "Olympia," Goya's "Nude Maja" or perhaps Courbet's "Origin of the World" if you're getting real? Whatever impromptu string of scantily clad portraits spring to mind, odds are most were painted by men. 
German-based artist Susannah Martin is doing her best to uproot this rather uniform trajectory, painting the female body from a -- wait for it -- female point of view. Her contemporary takes on the classical nude imbues female forms with an independent spirit removed from male judgment or approval. These women aren't on display; they're simply doing their thing in the great outdoors. Read more HERE Feel free to add your comments to this blogpost:

 I had blogged a couple of times about Caroline Schell - since first I met her, I found her to be a fascinating, and I must admit, a very charming person. Everyone that meets her is instantly smitten (ast least I was). We've been friends now for a while, meeting infrequently whenever she comes to Vienna from Paris, and then it is not always easy to find some time, since when she does come, it is usually on business, such as exhibitions or performances.  Das Resultat des Experimentes Extremely versatile, a Paintress, Sculptress, Performing Artist, she recently performed Sandpainting at the Cafe Ministerium in Vienna , while just last Fall, her 30th Birthday Party and Exhibition in Vienna was the talk of the town.  Here is a recent article about her in the Swiss publication BLICK: "Sie macht sich selber einen Namen". You will also find some great pictures of her on that site.  On a more personal note, a recent picture of Caroline and myself at the Vernissage of our mutual friend Lena Brauer.  picture credit: Peter Gric I tried to talk her into getting a website, but she says she is 'not ready yet' .... pity! UPDATE: Caroline had finally opened a great website - I blogged about it here www.artofthemystic.com/blog/caroline-schell-website check out the category CAROLINE SCHELL for ongoing news and new posts
