Viennese Realism after 1950

20 March - 17 August 2025

The Viennese Realists were a significant counter-movement to the dominant art styles of the post-war period. The core group – Georg Eisler, Hans Escher, Alfred Hrdlicka, Fritz Martinz, Rudolf Schönwald and Rudolf Schwaiger – came together in 1954. With the important graphic cycle "Soldiers' Reunion", they attempted to come to terms with National Socialism, much earlier than artists did in other countries.

The Realists started to show their work in 1960. Art Critics reacted with dismay. The group was accused of being close to the propagandistic "socialist realism" of the Stalin era as well as the realism of the Nazi dictatorship. But their concept of realism was totally different. The focus was not on depicting a perceived reality, but on the reality of the social and political situation itself.

Existentialism was the intellectual ground of this Realism, which propagated nothing less than a new humanism. This new approach was not only formative for the core group of Viennese realists. It also manifested itself in later tendencies, which also appear in "Truth as Attitude".
