About

Anton Hoeger is a member of the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism, founded by five esteemed writers and painters, including Ernst Fuchs. Anton was born in Munich, Germany and currently lives in Canton, Texas with his wife.

”Vienna School“, Hoeger’s artistic origin, is characterized by unreal, dreamy motifs in the opulent Mannerist style, using elaborate techniques of the old Italian and Dutch masters. Despite the admiration towards the artistic finesse of the old masters and the eccentric dynamic Baroque painting style which can be seen as the natural basis of Hoeger’s art, his paintings contain the essence of philosophy, and go beyond the ‘pure techniques’ used to create hyperrealistic images. 

Hoeger’s artwork deals with social issues, such as the intersectionality of women in society and the participation of power. Hoeger’s paintings aim to mirror our present existence and provide social commentary. 


"I am a realist through and through, apolitical and not moralizing. This realism, which tends less to represent reality than to establish reality, rejects any emphasis of dramatic sensation or satirical intention found in my works of art." - Anton Hoeger

January 17 – February 05, 2017

Ring Gallery


"The Home of the Croatian Association of Artists had the honor to present the work of the famous German artist, painter Anton Franz Hoeger.

The exhibition gave an overview of Höger’s work from 2003 onwards, which included highly valued works of art that have already been exhibited in prestigious galleries in Montreal, New York, Munich, Nuremberg and other cities.

This surprise for the local audience had been selected and curated by Željko Marciuš; the exhibition is a result of cooperation between the Croatian Association of Artists and Henry Stag Art Management Production Company.

It was set in the Ring Gallery, the largest gallery of the Croatian Association of Artists, which stretches over 700 m2 and thus provides enough space for more than 40 works created by this extraordinary artist."

Myth and Reality

On the visual language of Anton Hoeger

By Dr. Werner Fassrainer (Ludwig Maximilian University - Munich)


"Stories of times long past are enormously popular. They reach all classes of society and may be transformed into myths through the original forms of communication, such as literature, drama, performance, music and painting, and in our time in particular through the media in the form of television, film and the internet. The artist Anton Hoeger, however, is no painter of myths. For him, myth is a stylistic device, a bridge, which he offers the viewer of his works as an initial approach to his art. Hoeger is not someone who reissues or even interprets a tradition; he is a modern artist whose works focus on the modern age, in other words the here and now. This demands of the viewer of his pictures a readiness to make the leap from the myths depicted into the present day."
