Modern Art in Austria, 19th issue from Max Weiler
This stamp displays one of the abstract works of artist Max Weiler in which he documents his experience with the conditions of nature. His goal is not to achieve a one-dimensional abstraction, but rather to reflect the multi-faceted preparatory process behind these impressions. The artist studied from 1930 to 1936 at the Vienna Academy of Fine Art, after which he worked in Innsbruck. He was forced into the army during the last years of the war. After the war Weiler returned to Innsbruck, where he aroused wide-spread sensation not only throughout Austria but also internationally with his frescos in the Theresa Church on the Hungerburg near Innsbruck. With his transformation of Christian salvation into contemporary Tyrolean ambiance, as these frescos depict, this progressive artist carved a way for modern art into western Austria. As of 1964 Weiler was first able to gain a lasting foothold at the Academy of Fine Art in Vienna.
