Fantastic Realism
Fantastic Realism (Phantastischer Realismus). A style of painting that developed in Vienna in the late 1940s. Its exponents, mainly pupils of Gütersloh, depicted a fairytale world of fantasy and imagination with minute detail. They shared an interest in the art of the past, notably that of Pieter Bruegel (supremely well represented in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna), and their paintings were often literary and anecdotal in character. Ernst Fuchs is the best-known representative of Fantastic Realism; others include Erich Brauer (1929– ), Rudolf Hausner (1914– ), Wolfgang Hutter (1928– ), Gütersloh's illegitimate son, and Anton Lehmden (1929– ).
