acrylic on canvas

Kurt Larisch was born in Vienna in 1913 and life carried him all over the world. He left Austria in 1938 for England, later he settled in India, where he became the art director of an advertising agency, dealing with 25 different languages. He would come later to the States, to move again in 1970, to Mexico.

For his artistic career each new country brought new experiences, new perspectives. However one can always recognize in his works the place where he started: Kurt Larisch belongs hundred percent to the Avant Garde of the Twenties, you can see in his canvases the aspiration for geometrical purity, the fingerprint of Constructivism and Bauhaus, I think.
