august walla.!: weltallendeland

august walla.! weltallendeland is an extensive four-volume monograph documenting the life and artistic production of

August Walla, one of the most notable figures associated with Art Brut. The publication integrates comprehensive visual documentation of Walla’s oeuvre with contextual texts and archival material. It encompasses reproductions of his paintings, drawings, photographs, environmental works, and actionist practices, alongside facsimiles of letters, handwritten texts, and sketchbooks. Essays by scholars and critics, including Gisela Steinlechner, Gerhard Roth, Nina Katschnig, Margit Zuckriegl, Silvie Aigner, and Helmut Zambo, provide interpretive frameworks that illuminate Walla’s singular artistic language and life history. Rather than functioning solely as a catalogue raisonné, weltallendeland positions Walla’s work within broader artistic and cultural contexts, offering a detailed view of his symbolic systems, mythopoetic iconography, and the interplay between personal mythology and collective expression. The publication serves as both a scholarly resource and a comprehensive visual archive of an artist whose work bridges autobiography, outsider art, and visionary practice.
