Lost by War

Dead-Deer

War is destructive, war destroys our heritage.

Franz Marc   Munich 1880 – 1916  age 27 , died at Verdun

Fought for “freedom” – where did it get us ??? Where is his “Freedom?”

Studied theology, philosophy but the arts had the strongest pull

Gerald’s Garden

Gerold's Garden, Aug. 2006 027 (2)

stillife in 3 colors

 

Last thoughts for the ending of this year.
