1937, Vienna (Austria) -

“During his adolescence, Johann Korec worked on a farm and as a shepherd. His dream, however, was to care for animals in a circus. When he was twenty-one, he entered the hospital of Gugging and since then he has been living in the House of the Artists. There, he has started drawing and developed his personal technique : he collects pictures from magazines, traces them, sometimes re-using the same image for one drawing. He then decides on the sex of his figures. Korec developed a truly erotic art ; coupling is the central theme of his story. His work is also centered on writing. We can no longer separate his writings and drawings. The texts are not an explanation of the drawings but an intricate part of the work itself.”
