The accompanying essays decode the artist's dream figures, bizarre landscapes, and great symphonies of color, converging in opulent picture spreads to evoke a journey of discovery through the fantastic worlds of Gerhard Altenbourg. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRevered by his companions, spoken of as an insider tip, and long blocked in East Germany, Altenbourg left a wide-ranging oeuvre that reveals his intense engagement with modern art movements. He furnished his \"fantastic figurations,\" full of grotesque beings and mythical creatures reminiscent of the Surrealists, with artful titles. To mark his centennial, this volume transports us into a singular, poetic visual domain in which the real world is recognizable, yet distorted. Diversity and color are united here in harmony.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoland Krischke\u003c\/b\u003e has been director of the Lindenau-Museum Altenburg since 2016 and director of the Altenburg Museums since 2020.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 11.1 x 8.3 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 19, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56435031507249,"sku":"9783777447735","price":59.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/9532\/7537\/files\/JlXpHu-SYF9783777447735.webp?v=1790164575","url":"https:\/\/mitchellofficial.com\/products\/the-fantastic-gerhard-altenbourg-the-centennial-hardcover","provider":"MITCHELL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
