Karl Wiener (1891–1942) was an Austrian artist known for his contributions to graphic art and printmaking. One of his notable works is Gewitter; aus; ‘Die 150 Blätter’ (translated as Thunderstorm; from; ‘The 150 Sheets’), which is part of a larger series titled Die 150 Blätter. This series showcases Wiener’s mastery in creating evocative and atmospheric imagery, often reflecting themes of nature, human emotion, and existential tension.
Gewitter (Thunderstorm) is a monochromatic print that captures the dramatic energy of a storm. The piece is characterized by its dynamic composition and intricate use of lines, which convey the turbulence and intensity of the natural phenomenon. Wiener’s skillful manipulation of light and shadow adds depth and movement to the scene, immersing the viewer in the raw power of the storm. The work exemplifies Wiener’s ability to blend technical precision with emotional resonance, a hallmark of his artistic style.
The series Die 150 Blätter was created during a period when Wiener was deeply engaged in exploring the possibilities of printmaking as a medium. The collection includes a wide range of subjects, from landscapes to abstract forms, reflecting the artist’s versatility and innovative approach. While specific details about the context or inspiration behind Gewitter are not widely documented, the piece is often appreciated for its ability to evoke a visceral response through its striking visual elements.
Karl Wiener’s career was tragically cut short during World War II. As a Jewish artist living in Austria during the rise of the Nazi regime, Wiener faced persecution and was ultimately deported to a concentration camp, where he perished in 1942. Despite his untimely death, Wiener’s works remain a testament to his artistic vision and technical expertise. His contributions to the field of graphic art continue to be recognized and studied, with pieces like Gewitter serving as enduring examples of his talent.
Due to limited surviving records, detailed information about the specific circumstances of the creation or reception of Gewitter is not available. However, the work is preserved as part of Wiener’s artistic legacy and is occasionally featured in exhibitions or collections dedicated to early 20th-century European graphic art.
