<p style="text-align: center;">Let's work together to create a culture where we all expect to give a little back for the incredible content created by the artists in our lives. If everyone gave, even as little as $5/month, it would be a very different, more balanced scene.</p>
<h4 style="text-align: center;">It's simple like this Example of my own link:</h4>

<hr/><p style="text-align: center;">You know that it's about more than purchasing things and experiences, it's about energizing a way of life. By setting aside some resources for artists, I look for opportunities to help support the kind of world I want to live in; it is a world of creative passionate producers, sharing the fruits of their practice, and inspiring others to cultivate their own creative gifts.<br/> <br/> Join the movement... share the message... grow the culture... fan the flames of individual empowerment, and nurture your own creative contributions!</p>

Es ist unglaublich, dass sich eine einst angesehene Zeitschrift wie der "Stern" die Liebenswürdigkeit von Ernst Fuchs ausnützend und jeden journalistischen Kodex ignorierend, zu so einer Berichterstattung herablässt. Es wurde nicht einmal davor zurückgeschreckt, Ernst Fuchs im Schlaf zu fotografieren.<br/> <br/> Kein Wunder, dass sich die Auflage dieses "Nachrichten-Magazines" in den vergangenen Jahren praktisch halbiert hat.<br/> <br/> Wir haben am Erscheinungstag der Verleumdungs-Geschichte sofort Journalisten kontaktiert und sie eingeladen, Ernst Fuchs spontan zu besuchen. Die Reporter der "Krone", des "Kurier" und der Tageszeitung "Österreich" sind unserer Einladung gefolgt und konnten sich davon überzeugen, dass es Ernst Fuchs gut geht, und dass er umgeben von seiner Kunst und seinem Lebenswerk ein selbstbestimmtes Leben führen kann, wie es vielen anderen Menschen in seinem Alter leider nicht möglich ist. Die Artikel haben wir an diesen Blog angehängt.<br/> <br/> Wir schreiben Dir/Ihnen diese Zeilen in erster Linie, um eure/Ihre möglicherweise bestehenden, aber wie gesagt unberechtigten Sorgen zu zerstreuen, sollten Sie den unwahren Artikel gelesen haben. Der Artikel ist derartig tendenziös geschrieben, dass er sich selbst diskreditiert und jedes detaillierte Kommentar überflüssig macht.<br/> <br/> Wir möchten Sie aber auch wissen lassen, dass sich Ernst Fuchs und seine Familie diese entwürdigende, gegen alle Regeln des Anstandes verstoßende, öffentliche Diffamierung nicht gefallen lassen wird und dass nach Konsultation eines anwaltlichen Spezialisten alle anwendbaren rechtlichen Schritte unverzüglich eingeleitet werden.<br/> <br/> Im Namen der Familie Fuchs</div>

<td class="wsite-multicol-col"><div class="paragraph">Dear Ernst Fuchs-Friends!<br/> <br/> We are shocked by the false and defamatory article in the German "Stern" on the allegedly neglected state of Ernst Fuchs. It's incredible that a once prestigious magazine as the "Stern" would take advantage of the kindness of Ernst Fuchs, ignoring every journalistic Code and stooping to such a coverage. They did not even shy away from taking pictures of Ernst Fuchs in his sleep.<br/> <br/> No wonder that the editions of this "news magazine" were practically halved in the last few years.<br/> <br/> We immediately contacted journalists on the day of publication of this defamation story and invited them to visit Ernst Fuchs spontaneously. The reporters of the "Krone", of the "Kurier" and of the daily newspaper "Österreich" have accepted our invitation and were able to convince themselves that Ernst Fuchs is well, and that surrounded by his art and his life's work he can lead an independent life, which for many other people of his age is not possible. The items we attached to this blog.<br/> <br/> We are writing these lines to you in the first place,to dispel your possibly existing, but as we said unwarranted worries, should you have read this untrue article. The article is so tendentiously written that it discredits itself, and any detailed comment is superfluous.<br/> <br/> But we would also like you to know that Ernst Fuchs and his family will not tolerate this degrading, contrary to all rules of decency, public defamation and that after consultation with a specialist lawyer all the applicable legal steps will be taken immediately.<br/> <br/> On behalf of the Fuchs family</div>

"<br/> The Painted Word by Tom Wolfe comes to mind - written decades ago! <br/> Quote: "…Art made its final flight, climbed higher and higher in an ever-decreasing tighter-turning spiral until… it disappeared up its own fundamental aperture… and came out the other side as Art Theory!… Art Theory pure and simple, words on a page, literature undefiled by vision… late twentieth-century Modern Art was about to fulfill its destiny, which was: to become nothing less than Literature pure and simple"</p>

<div class="paragraph" style="text-align: center;">Окосница прича у књизи су слике, али сагледане кроз хумор, иронију, гротеску, апсурд… Ово занимљива комбинација подразумева интеракцију слике и текста, па су стога разни писци позвани да напишу кратке приче „према мотивима“ слике неког од предвиђених уметника. По одабиру Крунића састављена је листа од 15 сликара, а по предлогу Мирјане Огњановић, направљена је листа писаца.<br/> <br/> Након новосадског представљања слика и књиге, планиране су изложбе и промоције збирке приповедака у другим градовима Србије, као и у Словенији, Бугарској, Црној Гори и Италији.<br/> <br/> - „Антилогика слике“ има сасвим посебан положај међу књигама. Она се данас јавља у нарочитој форми пинакобиблиотеке, тј. збирке коју сачињавају сликарска и прозна дела. Збирка обухвата, поред осталог, и врхунске домете цивилизације: сатиру, гротеску, иронију и апсурд, који су посредством једног „породичног споразума“ склопљеног са новим сувереном из династије Хум-ор, послужили за испитивање бескрајних веза ликовних и књижевних искустава – рекао је Славко Крунић.</div>

<div class="paragraph" style="text-align: center;"><p><span class="font-size-3"><strong>The backbone of the story in the book are pictures, but perceived through humor, irony, grotesque, absurd ...

<p>ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THIS ARTICLE:<br/> 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.

</div>
<div><p>Dauer der Ausstellung:</p>
</div>
<div><p>Sonntag, 22. September bis Sonntag, 20. Oktober 2013</p>
<p></p>
<div><p>Das <b>Kulturzentrum HERRENHOF</b> zeigt in diesem Jahr die 5. internationale Ausstellung „art-imaginär 2013“ mit 53 Künstlerinnen und Künstlern aus 7 Ländern. Das Spannende an diesen Ausstellungen sind die Werke </p>
</div>
<div><p>von Künstlern, die uns ihre inneren Weltbilder offenbaren. Künstler, die sich von ihrer Phantasie in subjektive Paradiese treiben lassen oder deren Phantasie Ungeheuer gebiert.</p>
</div>
<div><p>Die Ausstellung wird von zwei Sonderausstellungen ergänzt mit Werken von <b>Hermann Hoormann</b> und <b>Prof. Helmut Göring</b> und wir erinnern an den 65. Geburtstag von <b>Werner Holz</b>.</p>
</div>
<div><p><b>Sonderausstellung im Renaissance-Bau (Getreidekasten)</b></p>
</div>
<div><p><b>Hermann Hoormann</b> ein Phantast aus der Pfalz wird 80 Jahre. Hermann Hoormann wurde 1933 in Meppen/Ems geboren, studierte Kunsterziehung, Deutsch, Philosophie und Pädagogik in Mainz und war danach Kunsterzieher, Maler und Grafiker in Bolanden/Pfalz.</p>
</div>
<div><p>Hoormanns Bilderwelt zeigt ein permanentes, manieristisches Spiel von Visionen, die sich zum Teil überlagern und in Metamorphosen übergehen. Die Realität verwandelt sich ins Groteske und wird symbolisch. Seine Vorliebe liegt bei der Kunst des Mittelalters und der Frührenaissance.</p>
</div>
<div><p><b>Prof. Helmut Göring</b> (1917-2013) 1917 in Zweibrücken geboren und lebte in Kaiserslautern und Neustadt. Nach einer Lehre als Theatermaler war er amBadischen Staatstheater in Karlsruhe tätig. </p>
</div>
<div><p>1938 bis 1946 Soldat und russische Gefangenschaft. Danach Kunststudium in Saarbrücken und Assistent bei Karl Kunz. Seit 1949 Lehrer an der Werkkunstschule Kaiserslautern. 1967 erhielt der Künstler den Pfalzpreis. Helmut Göring war Lehrer vieler pfälzischer Künstler.</p>
</div>
<div><p><b>Werner Holz</b> (1948-1991) 1948 in Grünstadt/Pfalz geboren. Buchbinderlehre, FHFMainz, Grafische Akad. München, Assistent an der Freien Akad. Mannheim. Holz lebte als freischaffender Maler in Frankenthal und Herxheim am Berg. Seine Malerei wurde durch die Werke von Hieronymus Bosch und Pieter Bruegel der Ältere inspiriert. Er selbst sah sich in der Tradition einer allgemeineren, sich durch viele Jahrhunderte ziehenden „Malerei des Phantastischen“.</p>

<div style="text-align: left;"><span>"Well, the world is a haunted house, and Helnwein at times is our tour guide through it. Not all of Gottfried's work is on a canvas. A lot of it is the way he's approached life. And it doesn't take someone knowing him to know that. You take one look at the paintings and you say "this guy has been around." You can't sit in a closet - and create this. This level of work is earned. As an artist my strongest reaction to Helnwein's work is that it challenges me to be better at what I do. There are very few people that achieve utter excellence in what they do. And I think that Gottfried Helnwein is certainly one of those people."</span></div>
