Hermann Nitsch
Wien, AustriaBorn 1938
Hermann Nitsch was an Austrian avant-garde artist, known for his controversial performances and paintings. He was a founding member of the Viennese Actionism movement, which sought to challenge traditional art forms through provocative actions. Nitsch's Orgies Mysteries Theatre involved ritualistic performances that often included the use of animal blood and carcasses, aiming to evoke a primal response from the audience. His work has been both celebrated and criticized for its bold exploration of human instincts and societal taboos.
