Serigrafía Sobre Papel Arches 1 (1980) Printmaking by Kurt Larish

Kurt Larisch was born in Vienna, Austria, in 1913. He was first exposed to art and antique photography in his father's workshop. Establishing himself as a graphic artist, Larisch was one of the first in Europe to become involved in the new field of animated film. In 1938, political instability interrupted his work and Kurt Larisch traveled to England and later to India. He became an art director at one of India's new and most progressive advertising agencies.

At the same time, he continued painting in the conventional manner with five solo exhibitions during his eight years in India . In 1947 he moved to the United States.

In 1970 he decided to move his family to Mexico. They traveled widely in the country, sensitive to other history and culture until they prompted him to abandon traditional techniques for an art form influenced by each culture he had encountered.

He became one of the contemporary artists most famous in Mexico (as listed by AMISTAD - magazine of the American Society in Mexico). He developed a style and technique, which have now become the central theme of a unique and very personal statement about modern times.
