Love & Art (eBook, ePUB)

Songs of Passion, Second Volume

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Love & Art, Volume Two, will continue with Songs of Passion and contain, following the theme of art in dialogue with lyric poetry, the 90 drawings plus one that have been composed together, some before the ballad's creation, some after it, as the total freedom of creativity has driven me. As we grew up with Storge, the love for our family, I have experienced during my life seven modes of love: Eros and Philos, which I have encountered most of the time, especially during my youth and the middle ages of maturity. Yet, the experience of the intensity of these modes of love came with my passion for the Fine Arts, when my teachers guided me along the road of tapping into the fount of ideas and fantasy, where the sources for my creativity lie. Compassionate love, I have only experienced when the tragedy of a terminated illness of a beloved Muse became apparent through her sparkling health of beauty vanishing as if an unseen force had turned down the dimmer switch of life and her suffering started with her physical disintegration. I felt pain and suffering with her and helped her the best I could to give selfless love and support. I have detected my notebooks with the right paper for writing and drawing with ink pens. A series of volumes exists in various notebooks. I endeavour to publish them in a sequence with my original creative activities to provide my readers with an inside view into those times of immense innermost conflicts, happiness, and pain accompanying love and inspire these artistic dialogues.

Autorenporträt

Born in eastern Austria, close to the Hungarian border, he witnessed as a young man the horrors of a nation's suppression, erupting in the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. He finished his education in art and architecture in Vienna, married, and sailed for the Cape of Africa, an adventure that followed his childhood dreams. He had drawn African animals for his art classes, but the time had come to see them in their natural habitat. Meeting a varied facet of people and cultures, working as a draughtsman in an engineering office, and as an architect for a cultural centre, he made good use of his language skills travelling throughout Southern Africa. During a trip to Lesotho, a native artist showed him rock paintings with their stark palimpsest outlines and with typified movements of animals and humans. It made a lasting impression on him and influenced his artistic work. His vast collection of drawings and slides had been lost during a change of domiciles, but further studies of the San people would reawaken his dormant artistic longing for the expression of his art, filling sketchbooks with drawings and notepads with poetry and prose. While revisiting the capitals of Europe, he sensed that the bond of art being borderless and free, would reach across continents into the world. During a visit to Greece, he was accepted into a circle of artists and poets, who encouraged him to continue his art and a poetess introduced him to the works of famous Greek poets. In South Africa, he joined the writing and poetry workshops of 'Writers Write'. It was to open the floodgates of his creativity. He decided to travel through Greece and visit its sites of antiquity, read up on Classical mythology, and enjoy first-class translations of Greek poetry and prose. He settled in 2013/14 in Klosterneuburg-Weidling. Poet Nikolaus Lenau is buried here. Franz Kafka used to visit here. Their writings will always be an inspiritation.
