Watercolor, C.H.O.R.

 This August 30th,2009, my father will be 110 years old...
(I'll move the geocities pages over here, before they close down in Octobre...)

His father, my grand-father will be  150 years old next year 2010.

The last time I had meet him as a boy during the Berlin Blockade,
when he was 88 years old...My father died forty years later
when he was 88 years old.

I did not wait to die, so I simply removed myself from humanity:
I quitt it as far as this is possible to have peace...


when my father was twenty-one years young

he went to art school in Munich...

that was four years after he was shot on the Western Front in France,
was already piled up among the dead

when a doctor walked by, discovered he was alive
and 'they' pulled out the about 3" bullet...
that my mother carried lifelong in her portemonnai

This is a pencil drawing: he did while at art school:
/CRChKreuzDeisenhofen1.jpg

here is the inscription on the Cross
in my father's handwriting at that time:
/CRHandschriftInschriftChKreuz1921.jpg


When I asked him about the motivation for this drawing
his only reply was always that he too was among the dead
and he too came back to life...


My father  always remained young;
my friends used to say that "I'm much older than my father"...

and my father always asked his father re the 29th of February
and his father always told my father to get his his own son
to be born on the 29 of February...

and so it turned out that I'm the son
who just turned seventeen on the 29th of February this year,
in 2008
