…And I dip my face
Into the light and into myself
And dissolve in myself
And my ego evaporates
And I remain above me:
Chemically pure and unsmudged
New and beautifully crystallised.
Franz Sedlacek
From his poem “Ode to Myself.”
In 1932, in an article on the work of Franz Sedlacek and Herbert Reyl-Hanisch (1898–1937), there was again a clear emphasis on the stylistic influence of the Romantic tradition. Whereas in the context of the Upper Austrian exhibition of 1929 the stylistic terms New Objectivity and New Romanticism were still linked, the author of the article saw a reaction to the “objectivity and aloofness” of his time in the Romanticism of 1931. Similarly to Hans Tietze’s formulation of the “fantastic supernatural”, he described the Romantic tendencies as an escapist phenomenon: “The Romantic takes refuge in symbols, irony, the grotesque.”36 It is no coincidence that two scenes of fleeing were used to illustrate the article,37 for Sedlacek also worked on the actual motif of fleeing many times: both symbolically exaggerated in the religious theme of the Flight into Egypt, which was taken up several times, as well as in some pictures with profane content.38
