My friends, let me present our latest emotion.

This piece is a tribute to love, to our city, to colours, and to a great artist — Friedensreich Hundertwasser. A hand-signed lithograph titled “Mit der Liebe warten tut weh, wenn die Liebe woanders ist” — in English, “Waiting for love hurts when love is elsewhere.”

We have all lived this feeling… so if memories begin to stir in your heart, remember — our wine cellar is always here for you 😊

From time to time, I cannot resist making myself a present. I discovered Arik Brauer by visiting one of my preferred restaurants in the Brauer Haus. He is mostly known as part of the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism. This signed color engraving is called “Rich is he / who is content with his portion”. Here´s what the artist wrote about :
Reich ist,
wer mit seinem Teil zufrieden ist

Wer nur trachtet, Besitz einzufangen,
versäumt sein Leben
und der Besitz fliegt ihm davon.
Verdienen und vergeuden wird sein
Wie Bälle fangen und sie wieder wegwerfen.

Wer seinen Sinnen nicht aufs Haben,
sondern aufs Tun richtet,
dessen Bäume werden in den Himmel wachsen
und die Früchte werden
wie von alleine
in seine Hände fallen.

Die kreative Arbeit ist, worauf es ankommt,
der Besitz deren Folge.
Wer ihn nicht sucht, dem läuft er nach.
(Dreh´dich nicht um!)

Zufriedenheit zieht Reichtum an.

Diese Zufriedenheit sehe ich
In einem ruhigen Kreis,
das hysterische Besitzstreben in
einer chaotischen Bewegung mit
zerflatternden Details.

Alle diese Gedanken erinnern mich
An eine warme, dunkle Farbigkeit
Mit zarten Nuancen.
Kein beherrschendes, grelles Element
Reißt die Aufmerksamkeit in eine bestimmte Richtung.
Das weiche Ineinanderfließen
Soll den Betrachter zu
Nachdenklicher Ruhe anregen.

The Arik Brauer Haus is about 200 meter from our hotel. So we had to enrich our collection with 2 of his works. Up is a color etching Frühlingswind ( spring wind ). The second one is a signed litographie called Aufstand der Poesie ( revolt of poetry ) and it's a tribute to our poet friend Robert Serban who taught us to read poetry again.
Now, you google Arik Brauer because he is a very fantastic realist artist !

Another piece of art in our house. It´s called "Trust" painted by the young and very talented Georgiana Beloescu Check her marvelous paintings at Georgiana Beloescu . In the city of Klimt and Freud painting the trust of a hug is spontaneous 😊

Again and again, go off the beaten track !!! In Servietenviertel ( which is a very nice, old and romantic area ) found this traditional austrian kitchen. Very good food, elegant and an extraordinary Markowitsch cuvee

There is an italian director, Ettore Scola, he said once : There is a secret order. You can’t place books at random. The other day I placed Cervantes next to Tolstoy. And I thought: “If Don Quixote is next to Anna Karenina, he will certainly do everything to save her.” Pretty much the same with paintings, they tell a story. You walk in the and, on the left side, you´ll see a man with a dark face ( Giovanni Senesi “About us “ )....
