Purchased a framed picture some 40 years ago and over that time the reds and green faded badly. Even the pool showed fading. Was thrilled to find an exact print in the correct size that can fit the existing frame. A perfect picture bringing back memories of good times.
Artist's Description
One painting, entitled The Deterioration Of Mind Over Matter is a frightening picture of a decomposing human scull firmly ensconed on some devilish birdcage in which the raw gore of mans physical being lies lifeless at the base. The parting flesh of the scull is secured by a tromp-loeil safety pin. This is truly an image that could have been utilized in the former issues of Tales From The Crypt, in fact it brings to mind in its own scary way the imaginations of Edgar Allan Poe. The poem, The Conqueror Worm comes to mind immediately:But see, amid the mimic routA crawling shape intrude!A blood-red thing that writhes from outThe scenic solitude!It writhes! - it writhes! - with mortal pangsThe mimes become its food,And the angels sob at vermin fangsIn human gore imbued.Excerpt from the critique by J. Brooks Joyner, Editor Visual Arts, The Albertan, Saturday, May 29th, 1976
About Otto Rapp

THE MYSTIC OTTO RAPP Born in 1944 in Felixdorf, Lower Austria, I lived and was educated in Vienna, where later I worked as a clerk in the Transport and Insurance Business. After completing service in the Austrian Air Force, I traveled throughout Europe, eventually settling in Stockholm, Sweden. As a Painter I was initially self taught, studying in the various Galleries and Museums. In Vienna, I was often hanging out at the Akademie der Bildenden Kuenste, where I admired the work of the Wiener Schule des Phantastischen Realismus represented there by the Professors Ernst Fuchs, Rudolf Hausner and Arik Brauer.

Congratulations on your sale, Otto! Great surrealist painting!
OTTO RAPP
Thank you everyone again for your comments. This painting of mine is decades old: I cannot remember how much it was sold for way back when, but surely I made more selling prints over all the years I had been with FAA/Pixels than I got for the original.

Thank you! I lost count how many prints of this old painting of mine had sold through FAA, but it is by far the bestseller and also the most visited image on my site here! I guess "scaring the neighbors" pays!
