Many disturbing images by German artist Gottfried Helnwein are reminiscent of the experiments in La Jetée. Learn more about his work. ...

Adults bring a trunkful of contradictory cultural baggage to any representations of children. That's what makes the work of Helnwein so powerful. In his show, "The Child," at the Legion of Honor (of the San Francisco Fine Arts Museums), deformed infants and bandaged children stir feelings of pity, defiance and uneasiness about exploitation. There's an ambiguously disturbing painting of a girl aiming a gun into an open refrigerator and another of a bare-breasted mother and child surrounded by Aryan soldiers.
But the most haunting images may be the ones of children who seem strangely oblivious to the adult gaze. Some of Helnwein's children peer right past the onlooker. Others sleep, dreaming of anything but us behind their silky eyelids. And some, like the enormous, half- shadowed "Head of a Child" at the Legion, see straight through us with cloudless, infinite blue eyes.

Verder in de biblo een boek gekeken van de oostenrijkse kunstenaar Helnwein. Heel inspirerend. Mooie fotos zijn (in mijn optiek) toch meer een foto van durf. Ideeën genoeg, maar je moet ze durven uitvoeren.

-- and the exhibit's defacement by vandals shortly after it was unveiled.
Directed by Henning Lohner and featuring on-camera appearances by Helnwein collectors Sean Penn and Jason Lee, the documentary short is largely the product of the passion and persistence of Malibu producer Gisela Guttman. When she struggled to find a venue in Los Angeles willing to show Helnwein's large-scale installation, she decided to make a documentary instead.
The art installation, which revolves around a series of pictures of small children, was vandalized after its initial showing in Germany.
"The one thing I wanted to do is just be sure that people can see the entire installation, I just really wanted to bring it to Los Angeles, no matter how," Guttman said. "The power of those images really comes across on-screen, and that's what I wanted people to see and to think about." ...

"Well, probably intentionally, except for moments of non-sober discussion, I've sort of made it a conscious effort to not analyze anything I love too much.
And I love this art, and for me part of the reason I think is a professional reason - for me as somebody who aspires to creativity myself. When you find someone in the arts, whether it's in your medium or in another medium, that raises the bar for you, that reinvigorates your own pursuit of affecting people and out of a sharing what you count on as some kind of a common chord in us. Whether it's through imagry, words, sounds.
I think that as an artist my strongest reaction to Helnwein's work is that it challenges me to be better at what I do. There are very few people that achieve utter excellence in what they do.
And I think that Gottfried Helnwein is certainly one of those people."

小夏和大家一起分享系列之六：我最近对Helnwein的画品赏析及他的一些作品：）
作者: 安藤夏
Helnwein，奥地利著名画家。为一般人所知是他为曼森专辑所设计的封面和CD彩页——孩童和枪，似乎怀着恶意和颠覆在向一切冷冷微笑。这一系列的造型，成为了后来美国校园枪机案后曼森遭受指责的直接原因。
　　 我观察Helnwein的艺术创作，发现这样几个特点。首先是他的作品集中于表现孩童。他早期的油画作品大都是一些缠着绷带，带着缝线伤口向你诡异微笑的孩童，咧开撕裂缝合的嘴角，那是小小的孩子渗入骨髓的恐惧和恶意。摄象作品则很多都是儿童的各中头像。其次，他的作品另一部分是自画像，表现淡定透视自身欲望暗流的冰冷潮湿。他在大部分水粉和素描的自画象中都是头缠绷带，带着黑色墨镜，温柔而恐怖。最后，进入90年代后，他的作品集中于媒体合成和摄象上。虽然更能表达都市现代感，但我还是偏爱他早些时候的童话一般柔若无骨缓缓撕开皮肤的优雅从容。
　　 一直都很奇怪为什么Helnwein会选择孩童的伤口，孩童的恶意是他作品从始自终的切入点。作为二战后出生的一代人，Helnwein或许丝毫未受到战后婴儿潮的沾染，成为高唱爱与和平的嬉皮。他选择了另一条道路，通过死亡，战争，童谣般的恶意，单纯幼稚面孔上的可怕撕裂，那些永远静止的凝滞的扭曲的儿童的面孔摄象来表达自身对人性恶的一面和战争的一种反思。 ...
