Ernst Fuchs (born 1930) Already as a pupil, Ernst Fuchs obtained instruction in painting and sculpting from his parents' friends and began his studies at the age of 15 at the Viennese Akademie der Bildenden Künste under Albert Paris von Gütersloh. Between 1950 and 1962, Fuchs travelled extensively and exhibited in various countries, until he returned to Vienna in 1962 as a professor. There he grew to be one of the main exponents of the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism, whose founder was his teacher, Albert Paris von Gütersloh. Even though it was inspired by Surrealism, Phantastic Realism orientated itself more and more towards the technical perfection of the Old Masters and is less abstract than Surrealism. Fuchs' themes include mystical-religious and erotic subjects. Apart from his graphic oeuvre, Fuchs worked as a stage designer, costume designer, architect and singer. His buildings are characterized by ornaments and colors. The Otto-Wagner-Villa renovated by Fuchs is today the Ernst-Fuchs-Museum. Fuchs' works have been on display in numerous exhibitions worldwide.
