Heinrich Reisenbauer (1938 to 2025) was one of the best-known Gugging artists. Born in Kirchau, Lower Austria, he lived in the House of Artists in Gugging from 1986. In 1990 he received the Oskar Kokoschka Prize together with the Gugging artists.
His method never changed. He drew from left to right, placing one motif beside the next in steady rows: suns, moons, trees, leaves, chestnuts, books. Each one is repeated, and each one is slightly different. For years he came to galerie gugging in the afternoons to begin a new work. When it was finished, he turned away and said a single word: “Done!” Today his suns shine from the façade of the Art Brut Center Gugging.
After his passing in February 2025, his works were not available for more than a year. We are glad to present his etchings once again. Each etching is signed and numbered, and some are hand-coloured.
