Paul Hammond

    Pán Hammond zasvätil celý život štúdiu, čítaniu a písaniu o americkej histórii. Po dlhej kariére v podnikaní, kde odišiel do dôchodku ako vedúci pracovník a riaditeľ celoštátnej firmy pre prieskum trhu, sa zameral na písanie historických románov. Jeho diela čerpajú z bohatej minulosti Ameriky a pohlcujú čitateľov do dramatických udalostí. Autorov štýl dokáže oživiť minulé epochy a postavy, čím približuje historické okamihy súčasnému čitateľovi s napätím a hĺbkou.

    • Dieser neue Lassnig-Katalog umspannt die Werkphase zwischen 1942 bis 2013 und ist den unterschiedlichen Selbstdarstellungen und ihrer Auseinandersetzung mit Objekt, Tier und Maschine gewidmet. Das zentrale Thema der Künstlerin war eine schonungslose Selbstbefragung, der sie sich ihr ganzes Leben lang unterwarf. Ihre Selbstdarstellungen sind teils vom Informel geprägt und zeigen traumatische, surrealistische Formen, in denen der Mensch mit dem Tier, der Mensch mit der Maschine verschmilzt. Die Auswahl umfasst 45 Gemälde, von denen der Großteil aus dem Atelier der Künstlerin stammt, sowie eine Auswahl von Aquarellen und Videos, ergänzt von Fotos, Zeichnungen, Schriftstücken und Materialien aus persönlichen Archiven und Arbeitssammlungen.
