This acrylic on sewn canvas painting depicts The Elbe River, a character in Wolfgang Borchert's play, "Draußen vor der Tür". (If you are curious about the play itself, which does not seem to be very well known outside Germany, you can read more about it here: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/484436.Drau_en_vor_der_T_r)

This painting was done in Munich, Germany in 1998 in a corner of my tiny apartment on Moosacherstrasse, when I was a student at the Ludwig Maxmillians Universitaet. I saw an amazing production of the play at Munich's Residenz Theater and painted this picture shortly thereafter.

Q: What's the 4th black and white picture?

A: In 2001, the painting was featured on the cover of _Folio_, the literary journal of American University, located in Washington, D.C. I was their featured artist for the Winter 2001 issue.

The painting is framed, wired, and ready to hang. It is 15-1/2" x 13", framed.

The painting will be shipped USPS Priority Mail and fully insured. Please feel you can purchase with confidence. If you have any questions at all, please convo me. I will be glad to answer them.

A free paperback of short stories (American Soma, which also appears in this shop) comes with your purchase!
