Gottfried Helnwein: The Epiphany of the Displaced
A massive survey of the disquieting paintings of Austrian provocateur Gottfried Helnwein This substantial volume is the most complete monograph to date on the work of the provocative Austrian painter, photographer, filmmaker, performer and set designer Gottfried Helnwein (born 1948). Helwein's work--whether it be his hyperrealistic images of distressed children or his bandaged self-portraits--expresses a traumatic human condition barely suppressed by the conventions of polite society. His unflinching approach to his subject matter has earned him prominent fans and detractors alike. As Klaus Schröder, director of the Albertina Museum in Vienna puts it, "Gottfried Helnwein shakes people at their core." Edited by art critic Demetrio Paparoni, Gottfriend Helnwein: The Epiphany of the Displaced features a preface by the actor Sean Penn, essays by Schröder and gallerist Martin Muller, and an interview with the artist conducted by experimental philosopher Jonathon Keats.

Helnwein
Gottfried Helnwein has long been a recognized figure on the world art scene and more than ever his darkly visionary portrayals of pain, abuse and torture are proving to be true. Helnwein transfers these on the basis of an extensive pictorial knowledge that draws in particular on European Romanticism, but at the same time seamlessly transitions to the propaganda machinery of the Nazi dictatorship and the harmless duck cosmos of the famous Disney cartoonist Carl Barks.0The trivial breaks the noble and knocks the supposedly adorable off its pedestal. Helnwein proves to be a clever strategist here, and a master of quoting and referencing unfamiliar points of view. 00Exhibition: Ludwig Museum, Koblenz, Germany (11.04.-26.05.2021) / Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, Venice, Italy (June - July 2021).
Helnwein. English Edition
A collection of works by provocative artist Gottfried Helnwein. Gottfried Helnwein's paintings of children are both touching and disturbing. The hyperrealistic character of his images serves to intensify this effect still further. The vulnerable and defenseless child serves as the central motif in his examination of the themes of pain, injury, and violence. The child in Helnwein's works embodies and serves as a proxy for psychological and societal fears. He also uses his images to denounce Nazism or to address the Holocaust, as well as the taboo subject of abuse. Helnwein is considered a provocateur to this day. He still succeeds in shaking up people with his works, which are produced from photographic references and which captivate us through their technical perfection. Gottfried Helnwein provides an overview of his creative work during the past twenty years.
The Child

I was a Child
The artist Gottfried Helnwein (born 1948) has been known for decades as a master of provocation and technique in the visual and performing arts. While his early works were drawn from the horrors witnessed by his own generation, as well as his youth in post-World War II Austria, Helnwein's more recent paintings present more hallucinatory images of reverie, combining powerful gestures of light and shadow with depictions of the aftermath of violence, brutality and suffering. In the works gathered in this monograph, Helnwein particularly dwells on children as victims of unexplained violence (as the image used on the book's front cover conveys). I Was a Child was published for the first major exhibition of Helnwein's work in New York.
