Basic Data
Arnulf Rainer is one of the most important contemporary artists from the German-speaking area. The start in the art world was not easy for Arnulf Rainer. The most striking feature of his personality is the steady striving for new forms of expression and innovative artistic strategies. With this, he often offended people and faced resistance especially at the two art academies in Vienna, which is why he left both schools after a couple of days.
