The Austrian avant-gardist Curt Stenvert (1920-1992) first appeared as a painter in appearance, before he and his film work from 1962 and international attention with his art objects found. In the exhibition NEODADAPOP is the first time the entire oeuvre of Kurt Steinwendner presented as a born artist.
During his studies continued at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna under Albert Paris Gütersloh and Fritz Wotruba is Stenvert primarily deals with the themes of movement and perspective, which found its expression in aluminum Plexiglas sculptures.
His violin player in four phases of movement (1947) gave the founding member of the legendary Art Club, the admiration of well-known colleagues, such as Marc Adrian: “You stood there and has just amazed that it was possible to resolve a sculpture in motion.”
The movement was one of the key elements in creating Stenvert and became the major reason for the preoccupation with the medium of film. Stenvert early cinematic works, including the first Austrian experimental film The Raven (1951), tell us about the biological, psychological, sociological and philosophical conditions of human existence. It was followed by numerous international awards, experimental, and long documentaries Stenvert led to his unusual object assemblage, with which he on the 33rd Biennale di Venezia in 1966 and later in museum solo exhibitions in Italy, Sweden and Germany caused a stir.
