Forty years after the international breakthrough of fantastic realism, the Belvedere is showing a focused retrospective of one of the most successful export brands of Austrian art. It presents major works by six great masters - Arik Brauer, Ernst Fuchs, Rudolf Hausner, Wolfgang Hutter, Helmut Leherb and Anton Lehmden - for the first time including the early history and context of this special movement of late modern art. It is characteristic for fantastical motifs from mythology or the world of dreams, with orientation on mannerism.
