Manfred Willmann

de Klaus Albrecht Schröder, Anna Hanreich

The ALBERTINA Museum is devoting a comprehensive solo presentation to the works of photographer Manfred Willmann (*1952). In his series, Willmann captures scenes from his personal surroundings in Graz and southern Styria, scenes that break with clichés of idyllic rural life. His pictures reveal a very direct and subjective view characterized by his consistent use of the flash and focus on details. Willmann is also one of the first Austrian photographers who used color as a means of artistic expression. The ALBERTINA Museum is showing six large series from Manfred Willmann?s oeuvre, including the influential work groups Schwarz und Gold and Das Land.00Exhibition: Albertina, Wien, Austria (08.02. - 26.05.2019).
