Finding none of the artist's gifts laid in bis cradle, Alfred Hrdlicka, Born the son of a Viennese union activist in 1928, nevertheless grew up with an irrepressible desire to acquire and develop such talents an his own. After breaking off his apprenticeship as a dental technician at the end of World War Il, he studied painting under Albert Paris Gütersloh and Josef Dobrowsky at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Vienna from 1946 to 1952 before, taking up sculpture under the guidance of Fritz Wotruba in 1953. Alfred Hrdlicka has taught at a number of major academies of fne art in Germany and Austria.
One of the trnly great artists of our century, Alfred Hrdlicka combines total dedication to his art with a militant social ennseietlee. The vigor and sheer expressive power of his fgurative works is hoth enchanting and alärming. As a sculptor, painter and graphic artist, Hrdlicka has neuer followed in the footsteps of others, nor has he for a single moment lost sight of his own objective: to expose the ennflets inherent in human reality in all of their diverse physical and social manifestations. With the "paws of a lion" (Erwin Ringel), this genuine virtuOso gives life and flcsh to the consequences of violcnce and suppression and to the sufferiag and compulsion that are so closely interwoven with them.
