I felt sad to part with my painted-paper-monkey works, but at least I obtained some new art for myself...I have added another HELNWEIN piece to my collection and this is one I've wanted for many years. ...

...

To help promote their controversial film, "Rules of Attraction", writer/director Roger Avary and producer Greg Shapiro contracted artist Gottfried Helnwein to create an image for the poster. Helnwein chose to recreate a scene where a girl commits suicide and Lauren (Shannyn Sossamon) discovers her body. In the studio shot, it almost looks like Sossamon is kissing the dead girl.
Since the suicide is a wrist slitting in the bathtub, the girl is nude and therefore the shot couldn't be used for wide release posters. The one you see displayed in theaters features stuffed animals in compromising positions, but Helnwein's poster did make it onto the soundtrack CD and other outlets. Helnwein himself spoke with Madblast about his work. ...

Cyril, noto figlio dell'artista tedesco Gottfried Helnwein, propone sul sito per il quale collabora, ovvero,  www.tlchicken.com, un'intervista a Marilyn Manson.. E' molto da "Fans", ma raccoglie a 360° tutta la vita di Manson e della sua band. La potete trovare sul sito sopra menzionato cliccando sulla scritta "interviews" e poi su Marilyn Manson.
    ...

Il Reverendo del Rock ha annunciato la nascita di un sodalizio artistico con Gottfried Helnwein, artista austriaco dei più controversi, le cui opere e installazioni fanno spesso riferimento a immagini naziste e alla violenza dell’olocausto.
Manson ha rivelato sul suo sito ufficiale l’intenzione di intraprendere “un progetto multimediale basato sulla provocazione e sul caos” insieme a Helnwein. Secondo il cantante, la collaborazione con l’artista austriaco “stupirà positivamente molti e farà discutere i benpensanti”. Anche se Manson non si è dilungato più di tanto in dettagli sul progetto, siamo sicuri che gli amanti delle provocazioni del Reverendo non vedono l’ora di saperne di più.

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.. ...

Are you one of those people who say, "Everything has been done!" I used to be, until I started reading publications and seeing what the contemporary art world has to offer. In some cases, it is true that the regurgitation of past styles doesn't go above par, but some artists really venture into new ground. Gottfried Helnwein is a cross between Andy Warhol and old style Gerhard Richter. His techique is incredibly precise like photo-realism. His subject matter is dark and sometimes sarcastic. Helnwein has some interesting discussions about the fine art industry on his busy web site. He is praised by Marilyn Manson, who is quite a watercolor artist himself. ...

Fakeл: Кто для вас важнее, Адольф Гитлер или Дональд Дак?
Gottfried Helnwein: Конечно, Дональд Дак. Встреча с этим персонажем в возрасте четырех лет была моей первой встречей с великим искусством. Я родился в Вене, оккупированной советскими войсками, сразу после окончания войны. Кругом разбомбленные дома, врослые казались мне разбитыми и угнетенными. Не помню, чтобы в раннем детстве кто-то пел или смеялся. Мир вокруг меня казался немым черно-белым кино в замедленной перемотке. Я чувствовал себя так, будто приземлился на чужой планете, в мир, которому я не принадлежу.
Однажды вернувшийся с работы отец бросил на пол передо мной едва ли не первый немецкий перевод комиксов о Дональд Даке. Открыв эту первую в моей жизни книгу комиксов я почувствовал, что открыл дверь в реальный мир. Я робко вошел. Я чувствовал себя так, как человек, переживший взрыв на шахте. После долгого пребывания в темноте между жизнью и смертью, я вошел в яркий свет Дакбурга и мои глаза, не привыкшие к такому яркому свету, наполнились слезами. Я глубоко вздохнул и мои пропыленные легкие наполнились свежим воздухом.
В этом мире все снова обрело свой смысл: люди снова выглядели нормально, у них были желтые утиные клювы или собачьи морды, и каждого из них можно было безо всякого вреда для их здоровья продырявить пулями или раскатать в лепешку гигантским катком. Это был мир красок, скорости, приключений, магии и удивления. Я никогда не отступал назад, в чистилище так называемого "реального мира" и с тех пор Дональд Дак стал для меня неограниченным источником вдохновения. ...

»Call Me Burroughs« ist eine Wanderausstellung für die reale Welt.

A: Welche Maler und bildenden Künstler haben dich am meisten beeinflusst?
Manson: Egon Schiele, Gottfried Helnwein, Luis Buñuel, Dalí, [Hieronymus] Bosch, Warhol, Mark Ryden, Fellini. Und so weiter...
A: Wie weit sind die Studioarbeiten an dem neuen Album (The Golden Age of Grotesque) fortgeschritten? Sind die Aufnahmen abgeschlossen?
Manson: Ja, jetzt geht es in den Mix.
A: Hast du Interesse an der Zusammenarbeit mit anderen Künstlern (abgesehen von Tim Skold) an neuen Projekten?
Manson: Vielleicht mit Felix Da House Kat. D12 versuchen schon länger mit mir was zu machen. Ich bin aber zur Zeit ganz mit Helnwein und einigen damit verbundenen Projekten beschäftigt. Es kommt wirklich auf die Umstände an. Ich mag es nicht Musik außerhalb der Band zu machen. Das wird einfach zu unkoordiniert. ...

...Der kollabierende Helnwein-Fan Reverend Manson... Welche Vorstellung.. ...

TwiGGy-RamiRez yazdı: " Marilyn Manson ile efsanevi ressam/sanatçı Gottfried Helnwein ismi henüz konmamış gizli bir proje üzerinde işbirliği halindeler. Manson’ın dediğine göre: "Cyril (Gottfired’in oğlu) sayesinde tanıştık ve şimdi birlikte çalışıyoruz. Detaylarını şimdi veremeyeceğim ama şu kadarını söyleyim bu bir multi medya projesi ve çok beğenilecek. Onunla bilikte çalışmaktan gurur duyuyorum. Bu Perşembe Los Angeles’ta bir resim galerisi açılışı yapacak ve ben de orada olacağım”. ...

Marilyn Manson found himself in hospital this week, the victim of stress and exhaustion in the rush to get his next record out.
He tells fans at his official website "This week was strenuous and I landed myself in the hospital as a result of “going too far” in the creation process. I am fine now and glad to be back in the studio. ...

Marilyn Manson a en effet fait appel aux services de Gottfried Helnwein, un artiste autrichien faisant référence dans ses oeuvres à l'Holocauste ainsi qu'à des symboles nazis. Aucune information n'a filtré quand à la nature de la collaboration entre Marilyn Manson et Gottfried Helnwein, mais ce dernier participe activement au prochain album du dark Lord, intitulé "The Golden Age Of Grotesque".

Marilyn Manson e o pintor Gottfried Helnwein tem juntado forças para colaborar em uma série de criações com a finalidade de mostrar arte superior, onde é pertencido. Na tradição do AKTION, o par pretende ter um poderoso efeito no delicado mundo do entertenimento.
Helnwein usa um tema principal proibido que tem ganhado respeito e notoriedade do mundo. Museus em NYC, Berlin, Vianna e Zurich, são somente poucas locações onde seu
desafio de imagens tem tido controvérsias no seu surgimento. Ele tem trabalhado com Marlena Dietrich e foi escolhido pela Time Magazine para pintar JFK no seu 20º aniversário de assassinato.
O Simon Wiesenthal Foundation manteve seu trabalho na Europa e aqui em LA, o Museum of Tolerance estará mostrando uma série de retratos que foram vandalizados pelos neo-facistas que os rotularam de "arte degenerada".
Sua luta por expressão e atitude contra a opressão são razões pela qual Manson escolheu ele como um artista parceiro.

So tonight I went to Gottfried Helnwein's show at his studio in downtown L.A. It was sponsored by the Jason Lee Foundation for the Arts (I'm still trying to figure that one out) and just about everyone was there. I turn to the right -- Sean Penn. I turn to the left -- Beck.
Arnold is dropping off a gift. Kevin Smith is wandering around in big, baggy shorts and looking at Gottfried's larger works. Leo looks like a cat. Mena Suvari is upset about the flourescent lighting ...
