For Hermann Nitsch, color is a powerful phenomenon. In the course of the act of painting, in which the paint is poured, sprayed, smeared and rubbed in, the image of this energetic creative process remains on the picture carrier. Hermann Nitsch, who is one of the most important representatives of Viennese Actionism, brings the body into art in a completely new way in his painting actions. His poured pictures are impressive testimonies of this artistic act.
