Excellent- More about Into the Light: The Art of Egon Altdorf
German artist Egon Altdorf's work crossed boundaries, from sculpture to woodcuts, glass design to poetry, and was inspired by his wartime captivity. He exhibited in London alongside sculptors Barbara Hepworth, Lynn Chadwick, and Reg Butler at the Unknown Political Prisoner exhibition (1953) and adopted an increasingly abstract approach rooted in Biblical symbolism. This book explores his work in ten interdisciplinary chapters and illuminates the overlooked contribution of artists who reshaped postwar existence.

German artist Egon Altdorf's work spanned various mediums, including sculpture, woodcuts, glass design, and poetry. Despite enduring wartime captivity, he dedicated his life to art that was innovative, spiritual, and redemptive. In 1953, he exhibited alongside sculptors Barbara Hepworth, Lynn Chadwick, and Reg Butler at the Unknown Political Prisoner exhibition in London, where he adopted an increasingly abstract approach rooted in Biblical symbolism but also embracing different faiths, particularly in his designs for the Wiesbaden synagogue's interior. This book explores Altdorf's work in ten interdisciplinary chapters, highlighting the overlooked contribution of artists who reshaped postwar existence, known as the "lost generation."
