Christian Ludwig Attersee, who successfully completed his painting studies with Eduard Bäumer in 1963, presents a playful homage to his artist colleague in his screen print A Celebration for Arnulf Rainer on His 65th Birthday from 1994. The screen print features vibrant colours and dynamic figures—abstracted bird and fish forms joyfully dancing in a circular composition. The gestural lines and the free arrangement of the motifs represent the narrative visual language that characterizes Attersee's work. The piece is not just a birthday greeting, but also an ironic commentary on artist friendship and their shared artistic journey. The blend of expressive colouring and delicate contours gives the image a lively, almost festive aura, fitting for the occasion.
