Fantastic Realism Painters
Fantastic realism
The Vienna School of Fantastic Realism is a group of artists founded in Vienna in 1946. It includes Ernst Fuchs, Arik Brauer, Rudolf Hausner, Wolfgang Hutter, Anton Lehmden and Fritz Janschka, all students of Professor Albert Paris Gutersloh at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. It was Gutersloh's emphasis on the techniques of the Old Masters that gave the Fantastic Realist painters a grounding in realism (expressed with a clarity and detail some have compared to early Flemish painting) combined with religious and esoteric symbolism.

The Banishment of Beauty
4 part playlist - aprox. 1 hr total viewing time.
Artist Scott Burdick has posted a four-part video presentation of the impassioned editorial speech he delivered to attendees of the Weekend with the Masters Conference, held September 7-11 2010 at the Portola Hotel & Spa, in Monterey, California. In his speech titled "The Banishment of Beauty", Burdick discusses the role of beauty in realist art, and why the so-called "progressive" Modern art movement eschews creating aesthetically pleasing works - and why the latter type of art is favored by curators, collectors, and critics. Though at times Burdick allows his frustration with the current circumstances in the art world to come to the forefront, and despite the criticism he has received in some arenas because of his bias towards realism, the hour-long presentation is very good, and should be listened to for Burdick's erudite analysis of the politics of the art world.
