Heinz Anger (pronounced [ˈaŋɡɐ]; born 23 July 1941 in Karlstetten, Lower Austria) is an Austrian painter of landscapes, portraits, still lifes and figurative compositions.
In search of his own artistic expression he was influenced by different movements during the following years; his 1960s’ paintings reflected the spirit of the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism.
From 1970 he created a range of panels and drawings in a kind of Austrian Pop Art, oriented on the works of Richard Lindner and Hans Bellmer; they were shown in an exhibition in Galleria Viotti in Turin, Italy in 1976.
His art is characterized by his use of light, his bold application of colours such as yellow, blue and violet, and his choice of often inconspicuous motives from nature.
In his oils paintings Angers repeatedly used motifs such as sunflowers, lilac and peonies at different stages, where nature is often enhanced and assumes symbolic character.
