Giselbert HOKE

I was extremely fortunate to meet one of Austria's
foremost artists, to be invited to his home and studio
and to be permitted to photograph almost 100 of his paintings.
I will show here but 3 of his works. All of them are now
being worked into a PSG slide show with musical accompaninent
and if I obtain the artist's permission I will post them on my web-site
on photodex.

At one point in our four hour discussions he denied being an abstractionist.
and he said this:

"An artist working in the Abstract, must take an object and depict it in the Abstract.

For me, the Picture is the Object."

I am not easily enthused about "modern art". I must admit, however,

that the work of Giselbert Hoke impressed me profoundly.

I look forward to completing my PSG show, consisting in total of 104 images.

I hope I will obtain the artists permission to post it on my Photodex website.
