Mack—en Face

An Artist’s Life

A unique profile of Heinz Mack based on interviews and conversations with the artist.

Recounting his life through the pen of Robert Fleck, Heinz Mack himself gives the reader deep insights into the motivations and goals of his artistic work, almost like a conversation with this fascinating and renowned figure.

A world-class artist is at once simple and very complex: on the one hand, a human being, like all of us, and on the other, a personality permeated by a web of motifs and ideas. Based on numerous conversations since 2020, the present volume explores this charged duality in Heinz Mack. The book follows the artist closely through his eventful life, from the years of the Second World War to the present day. Like a second voice, original quotes placed in the margin accompany the narrative and lend this unusual biography its unique charm.
