Portrait of the artist Ralf Bergner.
The director of the graphic collection Albertina in Vienna, Walter Koschatzky, called Ralf Bergner, who lives in Berlin “a sign of the best format”. He studied painting and graphics at Frank Ruddigkeit and Willi Sitte in Halle, Saale. He took early student visits in the Austrian capital to the artists like Paul Flora and Alfred Hrdlicka, which praised their acquaintance and valued him as a collector.
His works touch upon the topic of human and everything connected to human. His sensitive studies became comic, cheerful, whimsical and finally satirical. Newly found ratios stress his view on things, which are garnished through the props.
Near the abrupt clearness there are many tender graceful details that can fascinate you. A lot of exhibitions which represent his exclusive drawings and etchings and series which he prepared for the "Magazin" and "Die Zeit" witness about this. Experts align his works with the graphic works of Busch, Zille and Grosz.
