(Graz 1959–2025 Vienna) Untitled, signed and dated on the reverse Brandl 2023, archive no. HB23SAO, acrylic on canvas, 110 x 80 cm, on metal stretcher Provenance: Galerie nächst St. Stephan, Rosemarie Schwarzwälder, Vienna Private Collection, Lower Austria Herbert Brandl’s mountain paintings are ambiguous. In the same vein as the photographic landscape fetish, they present mountains as isolated bodies, no longer embedded in a dimensional context, and unattainable. They present mountains as objects that we may only gaze upon, that refuse to enter into a physical relationship with the viewer. But at the same time these compositions are realized in a form of painting with its own corporeality, that makes them tangible like a wall. Ulrich Loock, Die fernen Berge und Malerei wie eine Wand Excerpt from: Exhibition Catalogue, Herbert Brandl, Neue Galerie im Künstlerhaus Graz, 15 March – 25 March 2002, Hatje Cantz (ed.) 2002.
