Kurt Larisch
KURT LARISCH — Kurt Larisch was born into a family of third generation artists in Vienna,
Austria in 1913. He was first exposed to art in his grandfather's
sculpture studio and in the photography and painting atelier of his father.
Establishing himself as a graphic artist, he was one
of the first in Europe to involve himself in the new field of animated
film.
In 1938 political instability
interrupted his work and Kurt Larisch found himself in England, then in India.
He became art director in one of India's new and most progressive advertising
agencies. There were 25 major languages to deal with; it was a challenge
which left a deep impression on him.
At the same time he continued
to paint in the conventional manner having five one-man shows during his
eight years in the country. There were troubled times, and he was not unaffected
by what he saw prior to India's independence. For five weeks he was interred
as an enemy alien. Released, he became art director for the firm recruiting
for the British Armed Forces in India. He met his wife in Calcutta in 1939
and in 1947, with a daughter, the family moved to the USA.
At each state Kurt Larisch acquired
another view, another inspiration. He absorbed what his new environment
in New York offered, then opened his own Graphic Art Studio. He continued
to paint in a conventional manner, but felt that something was lacking.
Having visited Mexico several times, he realized a move there would give
him the motivation, freedom and independence to develop and concentrate
on his own ideas without having to cater to commercial demands. His family
moved there in 1970.
They traveled widely in
the country, sensitive to yet another history and culture, until he was
propelled into abandoning traditional techniques for an art form influenced
by every culture he had encountered. He became one of Mexico's most celebrated
contemporary artists (as listed by AMISTAD - magazine of the American Society
in Mexico). He developed a style and technique he felt more appropriate
for a complicated world, and more appropriate for a questing youthful audience.
Kurt Larisch was obsessed with man's
predicament in a world hell-bent on self destruction. His Kafkaesque, surrealistic
message is, as one critic put it, "a civilized protest against dehumanization."
In
his work with bright colors, Kurt Larisch expresses a critical view
of conformity and dehumanization through large geometric elements that
include masses of tiny human figures.
