Hermann Gross by Robin Jackson
The first biography of this important German artist who was resident at Camphill in Aberdeen for many years.
'This handsomely illustrated volume, on the life and work of the artist Hermann Gross, will be an attractive addition to anyone's bookshelf
Robin Jackson's book is far more than just a book about a dead, minor artist; it illustrates a whole dimension of the curative educational and socially therapeutic movement which, if explored, leads one close to the heart of anthroposophical care practice' -- Journal for Curative Education and Social Therapy, Spring 2009 He was a committed artist and a generous teacher who offered his gifts to Camphill. What he tried to do in making art part of Camphills daily life is as important now as it was then. -- Deborah Ravetz, writing for Camphill Correspondence 'This beautiful book draws in the reader from the first glimpse through the eyes of the portrait on the cover
The text is vividly and generously illustrated with photographs
In this rich monograph, Jackson leads the reader into exploration of both the art and soul of Hermann Gross.' -- Margaret Crompton, Camphill Correspondence
