Max Hölzer (born September 8, 1915 in Graz , † December 26, 1984 in Paris ) was an Austrian writer .
Life
Hölzer studied law in Graz and then passed an examination as a district judge. From 1950 to 1952 he worked as a district judge at the higher regional court in Graz. Through his befriended painters Kurt Weber and Ferdinand Bilger , he began to develop an interest in surrealism . In 1950, together with Edgar Jené , he brought out the Surrealist Publications in Klagenfurt, where he made friends with the poet Michael Guttenbrunner. The second edition was supposed to appear in 1954, but was not published after printing. In these issues, Hölzer brought out texts by Paul Celan and Michael Guttenbrunner , but also published texts written by him. In the 1960s, he turned away from surrealism and turned to transcendental poetry.
