About Hans Bauer
Austrian born HANS BAUER makes his entrance
to the fine art scene with a powerful and sensuous series of photo based
images at his premier gallery exhibit. Bauer's work is highly informed
by the outspoken feminist writer Camille Paglia's clear distinction
between the Vegetable and Crystalline Aphrodite, the very real
difference between "female" and "feminine" archetypes. Bauer's darkly
vivid and highly posed images ensconced in ornate Baroque frames have
the look of 19th century high academic painting and remind us of a
recently discovered, "old school" collection found in a European museum.
God grants an artist's eye to the very few. This applies to appreciators as
well as artists. We cannot have one without the other. Clearly, my images are
not for everyone. They speak for themselves.
Average photo size printed on museum quality papers
is 18" x 26," printed by Nash Editions of Manhattan Beach, CA. Larger and
smaller sizes are also available. Image durability estimated at 200 years.
All images are composed in my home studio in Hollywood, CA.
