Egon Altdorf: Poems and Images

English

By (author): Michael Trevor

Altdorfs earliest poems, written during military service and as a prisoner of war, reflected on nature, poetry and art. Beginning a new life, post-war, as an artist, Altdorf explored how the human figure might be depicted through increasingly abstract representations. Similarly, he refined his poetry to create a new, free, melodic language with a simple, song-like beauty. Presenting Altdorfs poetry alongside his art reveals a powerfully interconnected vision shaped but not defined by war: a humanitarian outlook informed by a profound spiritual belief. See more
