In his early years, Rainer was influenced by the Surrealism . In 1950 , he founded the ''Hundsgruppe'' (''dog group'') together with Ernst Fuchs , Arik Brauer and Josef Mikl . After 1954 , Rainers style evolved towards ''Destruction of Forms'', with blackenings, overpaintings and maskings of Illustration s and Photograph s, dominating his later work. He was close to the ''Vienna Actionism'', featuring Body Art and painting under drug influence. In 1978 , he received the Great Austrian National Price . In the same year, and in 1980 , he became the Austrian representative at the Venice Biennale . From 1981 to 1995 , Rainer held a professorship at the Academy Of Fine Arts in Vienna - the same place where he aborted his own studies after three days, unsatisfied. His works are shown in the Museum Of Modern Art and the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum . As the culmination of the appraisal of his work, in 1993 the Arnulf-Rainer-Museum opens in New York , USA . |
