Westernhagen, Germany's biggest Rock'n'Roll musician ...

Disney artist Carl Barks (1901-2000) created one of Walt Disney's most famous characters, Scrooge McDuck. Barks also produced more than 500 comic book stories. His work is ranked among the most widely circulated, best-loved, and most influential of all comic book art.
Although the images he created are known virtually everywhere, Barks was an isolated storyteller, living in the desert of California and preferring to labor without public fanfare during most of his career.
The influence of Barks's work on such filmmakers as George Lucas and Steven Spielberg and on such artists as Gottfried Helnwein has extended Barks's significance far beyond the boundaries of comics. ...

"UN MONDE DES HORREURS EN PHOTOS" MARILYN MANSON COLLABORE AVEC L'ARTISTE LÉGENDAIRE GOTTFRIED HELNWEIN
Marilyn Manson et le peintre Gottfried Helnwein ont joint leurs forces pour collaborer à une série de créations qui ont pour but de placer l'art sur la limite, où ça doit être. Dans la tradition de AKTION, ils ont l'intention d'avoir un effet puissant sur le monde fade de l'amusement.
L'intérêt pour le tabou d'Helwein lui a permis de gagner le respect et la notoriété mondiale. Musées à NYC, Berlin, Vienne et Zurich, ce ne sont que quelques endroits où ses images ont laissé de le controverse sur leur passage. Il a travaillé avec Marlena Dietrich et a été choisi par le Time Magazine pour peindre JFK au 20e anniversaire de son assassinat.
La fondation Simon Wiesenthal a supporté son travail en Europe et à Los Angeles, le Musée de la Tolérance montrera une série de portraits qui ont été vandalisés par des néo-faschistes qui appelle ça "art dégénératif".
Son combat pour l'expression et la position contre l'oppression sont des raisons pour lesquelles Manson l'a choisi comme un artiste partenaire.

It's funny how blisteringly incorrect Page Six is in their quest for sensational gossip. They miss the big story when they stoop so low. The image in question isn't a shot from a deleted scene in the movie, and was never before censors, but a photograph taken by the brilliant Austrian artist, Gottfried Helnwein. It's reason enough to buy the CD, and reason entirely that WalMart won't carry the CD. ...

Helnwein
by Mic Moroney
...This unease with, and yet celebration of German-language cutlure continues to inform Helnwein's work, not least in this large piece, "The Silent Glow of the Avant Garde"
Helnwein's painting - both cheekily and totally in homage - appropriates the great paintings, "The Polar Sea" (1824) by the leading German Romantic landscape artist Casper David Friedrich. Helnwein here re-renders the painting in a gloomy, cinematic blue-black duochrome, and hugely magnifies it from its original scale (about 1 metre by 1 metre 30), although the foundered ship still seems dwarfed and pulverised by the splintering ice sheets. It remains a fine example of that particularly Germanic celebration of heroic humanity dashing itself against the majestic cruelty of nature.
Helnwein, in his wry title and borrowing of the image, is suggesting an uncomfortable paradigm behind Friedrich's painting - a perpetual sense of momentous revolution within nature, raw humanity and indeed artistic culture. These ideas pervaded Friedrich's work, as well as that of composer Richard Wagner and philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche - all of whose works were later so mistakenly absorbed into the "superhuman" aesthetic of Nazi ideaology and doctrine... ...

PRESENT: A crowd described as groovy and Hollywoodish -including actor/skateboarder Jason Lee - turned up Thursday for the opening of Austrian-born L.A.-and-Ireland resident Gottfried Helnwein's show at Modernism in San Francisco. Sean Penn was said to have bought three paintings. ...

THE FRENCH SAY, "CONDEMNANT IL FAIT Q'UOD": "WE CONDEMN WHAT WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND." BUT THAT STOPS RIGHT HERE. LAY YOUR OPINIONS OF THE MAN TO REST UNTIL AFTER YOU'VE READ THE ENTIRE CONVERSATION BETWEEN CYRIL HELNWEIN AND MARILYN MANSON

Manson:
Of course, for everybody who reads this – they won’t know that our meeting has been very important to my career, because you introduced me to your father (Gottfried Helnwein) and we'’ve gone and will go on to do lots of great stuff together.
So that’s the behind-the-scenes story for everybody who’'s going to read this.. ...
