In Heinz Hirscher's object art and assemblages combine naïve sacred, profane, elements of folk art, the religious-banal and elements of everyday waste ambiguously to an aesthetic world that poetically counteracts our reality, from whose shards it is ultimately composed.
Heinz Hirscher erntwicklete his work after the specially declared motto, according to which the poetry alone that connects the materials together. He is one of the first material artists who were active in the field of object art since the 195o's and decisively developed it further in Germany. Hirscher's material paintings and assemblages were already shown in 1958 in the Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden, His participation in the groundbreaking exhibition "The Art of Assemblage" in New York, in which such famous artists as George Braque, Joseph Cornell, Jean Dubbuffet, Marcel Duchamp, Pablo Picasso, Robert Rauschenberg, Man Ray and Kurt Schwitters participated, meant an early recognition for Hirscher.
