Description

From sculpture to woodcuts, glass design to poetry, the work of German artist Egon Altdorf crossed boundaries. 'Making culture behind the barbed wire' was how Altdorf endured wartime captivity, inspiring a life dedicated to art that was innovative, spiritual and redemptive.

Exhibiting in London alongside sculptors Barbara Hepworth, Lynn Chadwick and Reg Butler at the Unknown Political Prisoner exhibition (1953), he adopted an increasingly abstract approach, rooted in Biblical symbolism yet embracing different faiths, notably in designs for the outstanding interior of Wiesbaden's new synagogue.

Exploring Altdorf's work in ten interdisciplinary chapters, this book illuminates the still-overlooked contribution of artists who reshaped postwar existence: the lost generation.
