Losterreich - My latest Austrian paintings……..



My latest paintings, this time portraying Viennese and Viennese based people who were either doomed (Harry Lime was a racketeer in classic British noir “The Third Man” which was filmed in Vienna),  forced to leave the city (Sigmund Freud fled the Nazi regime and many of his family members were murdered) or who left of their own accord (Fritz Lang in the pose of the scientist Rotwang in the 1927 futuristic masterpiece “Metropolis", who later left Germany for the USA.”)

    Hello Richard,
    thanks for three more paintings.
    But Harry Lime definitely was not forced to leave Vienna, also not Fritz Lang who left Germany already in 1934 for the US.
    Freud yes, he was forced out of Vienna and many of his family members were murdered.

    Yes I know Lime wasn’t, I just wanted to do a painting of the Third Man - and I know that Lang had already left Vienna. I will edit the text/ Cheers - my first comments!
