In the history of art, Reinhold Hanisch is one of the names that keeps being returned to.
The record lists Reinhold Hanisch as Austrian artist (1884-1937).
Reinhold Hanisch was born at Mšeno nad Nisou in 1884. His recorded nationality is Austria.
Around the turn of the twentieth century the movements arrived in quick succession, each defining itself against the last.
He worked as painter.
Looking is a skill, and the artists who last are those who taught their audience how to do it.
That the work was made in Austria shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.
Reinhold Hanisch died in 1937, aged 53. The work remains, hanging in collections that outlived both the artist and the market that first priced it.
