This book accompanies the exhibition "Hermann Nitsch - Hommage" at the Musée de l'Orangerie (October 11, 2023 - February 12, 2024). In response to the artist's invitation by the Musée de l'Orangerie to engage in dialogue with Claude Monet's Water Lilies, this book allows us to discover the "last" Nitsch and his elective kinship with the master of Impressionism, inhabited by the same obsession with light and color. A major artist of Viennese Actionism, of which he was one of the founders, Hermann Nitsch (Vienna, 1938 - Mistelbach, 2022) is the author of a total work of art of extreme radicalism, mixing painting, music and performance.
If this culminates in the "Theater of Orgies and Mysteries", a series of festivities and performances inspired by ancient and Christian rites, the concept of which Nitsch had forged in 1957, his late paintings bear witness to a new manner, marked by a vibrant chromaticism.
