Exploding with colour and energy, the works of Franz Hitzler deal primarily with the fateful influences on our lives and the experiential spaces between suffering and release. His paintings feature a distinctive iconography, bold shapes, and lines. Hitzler's early work was dominated by traumatic experiences and existential questions. This collection of his more recent work traces a marked transformation in Hitzler's style, a liberating spirituality. For the first time this volume allows viewers to explore the evolution of this important painter and translator of the human experience.
