- Hitzler depicts existential emotional worlds between death, suffering, and joy in his characteristic, spontaneously and impulsively written paintings. - One of the rare large-format paintings from the 1970s on the international auction market that shows a particular affinity to Art Brut in terms of motif. - Powerful, colorful, and large in format, Hitzler has condensed signs and symbols into artistic abbreviations and placed them on the canvas like mysterious hieroglyphs. - Hitzler studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich from 1967 to 1972.
