## Caption

Ernst Fuchs was born on this day in 1930 🔥

#ErnstFuchs was an Austrian artist and a founder of the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism. In 1982, Fuchs became the first European #BMWArtCar artist and decorated the BMW 635Ci. Painted on the occasion of the “Art as Illustration — Illustration as Art” exhibition, it was the first BMW Art Car based on a production car. 

The luminous colors of Fuchs’ Art Car share a common thread with Fuchs’ other work. Religion and mysticism were central themes in his art, illustrated via rich textures and colors: “When painting this car, I was able to express a wide range of experiences, fears, desires and invocations, as well as aesthetic, artistic freedom.”
 
Happy birthday, Ernst Fuchs!
