Description
Two motifs. Mountain and Maria. Always the same and always different. Bazon Brock speaks of an aesthetics of omission and that omission is the most demanding form of action of all. Paolo Bianchi coined the term Pictorial Asceticism and observed an "unconditional devotion to art and an artful life as an aesthetic form of experience". Laura Vogt notes how the landscape allows her to participate: "I am standing with both feet in it, on the green, orange, ochre-coloured base; I am part." Daniel Gallmann's unique Lebenskunstwerk touches us.
