Horst Stasny<\/strong> was born in Salzburg in 1941. He could be described as a living legend of Austrian photography.\u00a0 Stasny describes the beginnings of his career as follows: \u201cMy grandfather worked for various portrait photographers in Vienna and began his own business in 1930, in a small town called Bruck on the Gro\u00dfglocknerstrasse situated in the Pinzgau. My mother took over the portrait studio following the war. In 1962\/63 I began working with Heinz Simonis in Vienna and created the basis for advertising photography.\u00a0 This particularly fascinated me because every aspect of photography across the board is covered.\u201d<\/p>\n

Starting 1966, Stasny began displaying his pictures on a wider scale, and soon they were also shown internationally.\u00a0 Later on, his works were printed in reknowned magazines such as Abitare, Domus, or Marie Claire.\u00a0 Finally, it was through advertising that he captured awards in the USA, England, Germany, Switzerland and Austria.\u00a0 Beginning in 1997 Stasny, who currently lives in Thalheim near Wels, has returned his focus to artistic works and exhibits.\u00a0 The Austrian\u2019s photographs have been shown in Beijing, Moscow, LA or Zurich.<\/p>\n

His work is affected by the extraordinarily broad scope and the particularly intense way of dealing with black, white and everything that lies between. \u00a0To this, Horst Stasny says: \u201cI love contrast. While I presented some architectural studies in screaming colours, in many series I like to create a \u2013 especially with people \u2013 withdrawal of intense colours.\u00a0 It is not pure black and white and still it retains a certain colour appearance.\u201d Even in the glittering world of the USA Stasny remained true to his position: \u201cI took photographs for Paramount Las Vegas \u2013 in other words, the most colourful place one can imagine \u2013 in black and white, later to be printed in duplex.\u00a0 It was a work associated with persuasion, but turned into a very special project.\u201d<\/p>\n

Experts credit his photographs for their remarkable technical perfection, on top of this they offer a scent of humor for the untrained observer; for instance, when Stasny lets Catholic priests pose on gymnastic equipment or he places conductor Welser-M\u00f6st to conduct in a rowboat. \u201cI am interested in people,\u201d the photographer says, \u201e and you can get to them most easily through humor. It breaks the ice even with non-models and lets them act more naturally.\u201d<\/p>\n

A representative cross section of his works can be seen at the Atelier Jungwirth. \u00a0Artist\u2019s portraits, such as Maria Lassnig or Hubert von Goisern for example, or ads for national and international brands, photojournalism for various magazines and series like \u201cChristbaum brennt\u201d or \u201cM\u00fchlviertler Bauer\u201d.<\/p>\n
