Synopsis

RalphAuf der Heide portrays a magical world...with artless art and consummate skill. His imagery is his own, but conjurs up references to Persian miniatures and Russian Lacquer boxes. The long love affair (67 years) between Ralph and Lisl was an enduring dialogue; no less was their collaboration of painting and poetry. An accomplished poet and writer, Lisl countered with refreshingly smart limericks that expanded the impact of his paintings. Her poetic contribution brings even further enjoyment to his works. Her limericks employ the same attitude and carry the same punch and small truths as the paintings. I quite imagine the both of them at the end of the day, side-by-side smiling as they viewed both painting and poetry completed.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Ralph Auf der Heide was born in Los Angeles, California. Although he had created objects of art in his spare time all his life, he felt compelled to turn to business to support his family. During a trip to Eastern Europe after retiring, he saw and admired ‘naïve’ paintings done on the reverse side of glass, ‘Hinterglasmalerei’. At age 72, after returning home, he began to teach himself this ancient art. More than 300 of his often whimsical, always brilliantly colored paintings sold worldwide. He died on July 9, 2008. Following his wishes, his body was donated to the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Lisl Auf der Heide, born in Vienna, Austria, began writing poetry at age 8 in her native German and continued writing in English after she emigrated to the USA at age 16. Her work has appeared in various publications as well as in four books of poetry: When A Child Dies 1986 Morning Glories Out Of Stone 1990 Child Of The Universe 2006 You Sent Me A Blue Butterfly 2012 Over time, she also wrote these limericks to accompany many of Ralph’s paintings.
