Hermann Nitsch

Hermann Nitsch's work embodies deep contemplation on nature, human nature, death and resurrection, and mysticism. Nitsch combines visual art and performing arts to explore the inner world of individuals and raise questions about the essence of humanity. Inspired by the exceptional composer, Richard Wagner, Herman Nitsch presented extensive performance art for the acts of Wagner's "Die Walküre" during the Bayreuth Festival in 2021. In these transformative performances, the artist used up to 1000 liters of paint per act, depicting Wagner's melodies melting into his shades and colors.
