Ernst Fuchs

Ernst Fuchs is a visionary painter who is credited with inventing the Mische technique . It's a laborious process involving layering glazes of oil over detailed egg tempera paintings. It is widely believed to be a resurrection of the method of painting of old Dutch artists. You can see in the paintings below that the colours are unbelievable.

Ernst Fuchs did not ''invent' the Mische technique but popularized and deseminated a version of it. A number of 20th century artists were using a mische technique before Fuchs was born: Petro Anigonni, Paul Cadmus, Otto Dix to name just a few.
