Female actress in boots: cubist image

(1933 in Vienna - 2002 ibid.) Feminine half-actress, conceived in a cubist manner, depicts the standing model in boots and stockings, sparsely covered with a violet, flowing cloth. Kornberger completed a study of painting with Robin Christian Andersen at the Academy in Vienna until 1956. Since the 1960s, he has not only engaged with the cubism and surrealism of Picasso and Braque, but also approached the surrealist, metaphysical painting of Giorgio de Chirico. However, abstract tendencies only briefly leave their traces in his work. At the latest by the end of the 1960s, he places the human, especially the female nude, at the center of his artistic creation, thus aligning himself with the great Austrian tradition of figurative art, ranging from Egon Schiele to Alfred Hrdlicka. For Kornberger, color is the most important factor in the statement of a painting and serves as an emotional factor of expressive expression. Oil crayon and pencil on yellowish watercolored paper. Signed. 66 cm x 50 cm. Framed.
