I have a very good friend in town whose father it turns out was a well known German Sculptor. He worked in bronze and his sculptures were all based on the human form. To visit her home is to experience life in a sculpture garden. Delights at every turn.
He wrote about his feelings about life and sculpture in an article printed in England. In his sculptures he tried to connect the humane aspect and the spiritual aspect of man. He believed that the true dimension of life lay beyond our material life. therefore there need be a connection between art and religion. He seemed to be a man of great faith.
He is to Germany what Henry Moore is to England. It is a privilege to know of this remarkable human being, whose daughter holds him in such honor.
