Whimsical cenes and bizarre monsters populate the work of Gerhard Altenbourg (1926-1989), as they do this lavish anniversary publication, which brings together drawings, sketches, and prints. The accompanying essays decode the artist's dream figures, bizarre landscapes and great symphonies of colour , converging in opulent picture spreads to evoke a journey of discovery through the fantastic worlds of Gerhard Altenbourg.
Revered by his companions, spoken of as an insider tip, and long blocked in East Germany - Altenbourg left a wide-ranging oeuvre that reveals his intense engagement with modern art movements. He furnished his "fantastic figurations," full of grotesque beings and mythical creatures reminiscent of the Surrealists, with artful titles . To mark his centennial, this volume transports us into a singular, poetic visual domain in which the real world is recognisable yet distorted. Diversity and colour are united here in harmony.
