Bavarian swear words: Hans Reiser brings Lachen to the Tölzer Museum!

in Bad Tölz there is an exciting news for all lovers of the Bavarian language and art. From October 10, the cartoonist Hans Reiser will present an impressive exhibition that shows 90 idiosyncratic illustrations of his latest book publication "Loamsiada, Doagaff, Siasskasa". This collection combines a large number of Bavarian swear words that come alive in its unmistakable artistic manuscript.

Reiser, who was born in Lenggries in 1951, has its roots in the region and looks back on a long artistic career. The inspiration for the representation of swear words came several years earlier when he experimented with Bavarian topics for exhibitions and quickly noticed that he was great fun. He has now summarized this passion in a book and a exhibition of the same name.

insights in Reiser's world

The works of Reiser are impressively designed. Every view of its caricatures not only reveals a sloping, but also a humorous picture of everyday Bavarian life. His characters often appear in a bizarre light, such as the "Drietschla", which sits on a snail, or the "poison noodle", which is just about a plate of spaghetti. The pictures are full of small details that provide additional joke and underline the characters.

"You always have to see something," explains Reiser and thus attaches great importance to the visual complexity of his work. His preferred swear words, such as "Gschwoischädl" and "Zwiderwurzn", show that scolding can also be artistically valuable. The satirist mixes his love for nature with a sharp sense of humor. So one recognized not only creative exaggerations under the snakes on the head of his “poison noodle”, but also a fine observation of observation that breathes life into his pictures.

important characters from the Bavarian language culture, which are part of general language use, gives Reiser a face. The swear words themselves come from his childhood and are closely linked to memories. At school everyone had a nickname, and Reisers himself was "Zincus". These childhood memories flow directly into his art and make the characters appear familiar.

critics and viewers not only find the presentation of entertaining characters, but also a loving reflection on the Bavarian language culture. "The strong Bavarian swear names are rather descriptive, hardly offensive. They give the people's voice a platform," explains the artist. In the socialists, often at the regulars' table, these swear words develop their full charm and promote communication between the interlocutors.

Details about the exhibition and the work

The exhibition in the Tölzer Stadtmuseum, which can be seen from October 11th to 23rd, offers visitors the opportunity to admire the works in the original format from 50 to 60 centimeters. The artist is particularly looking forward to the personal exchange with the visitors on the vernissage evening, which will take place on the opening day.

The associated book "Loamsiada, Doagaff, Siasskasa" also appeared at the opening of the exhibition. It contains a translation of the swear words for everyone who may not yet be familiar with the Bavarian expressions. So you learn that "Gniabiesla" is none other than someone who "has not yet got the bow". This humorous approach literally makes the book an educational experience. "A swear word says more than a thousand adjectives," summarizes Reiser, underlining the somewhat jovial approach that he follows in his art.

The exhibition and the book not only represent a contribution to the Bavarian culture, but also invite those who want to look over language boundaries and understand the heart region of Bavaria.
