Franz Hitzler

This monograph of the dynamic German expressionist painter Franz Hitzler is the first volume to focus on his later works. Exploding with color and energy, the works of Franz Hitzler deal primarily with the fateful influences on our lives and the experiential spaces between suffering and release. His paintings feature a distinctive iconography and bold shapes and lines. Hitzler's early art was dominated by traumatic experiences and existential questions. This collection of his more recent work traces a marked transformation and a liberating spirituality. This generously illustrated volume allows viewers to explore the evolution of this important painter and translator of the human experience.
