Ernst Fuchs (1930 Vienna - 2015 ibid) 20 part portfolio, 'Samson' cycle, etchings on Japon, 1967, sheet size 41.5 cm x 32.5 cm (4 double-page sheets 41.5 cm x 65 cm), from an edition of 15 on Japon laid paper, signed, some sheets slightly creased, portfolio lacking, with purchase receiptProvenance: Galerie Volker Huber; private collection, HanoverErnst Fuchs belongs to the ranks of the "Viennese School of Fantastic Realism", the specific direction of Austrian Surrealism, which attracted attention in the 1950s and 60s as a breakaway movement from the internationally dominant non-objective art. Fuchs and companions such as Arik Brauer and Rudolf Hausner referred to old master traditions, which they integrated into new and current contexts in a technically and artistically adept manner. They found models in Arcimboldo, Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Brueghel, but also in the Symbolists of the 19th century.The Samson cycle, on which Fuchs worked for several years, masterfully demonstrates this in depictions from the life of the Old Testament figure Samson. The sequence of twenty etchings from the portfolio work is rarely preserved in its entirety today, as the sheets were often sold individually in the past.
