"Arabesque" and Other Paintings Inspired by Literature
Grass's The Tin Drum also moved me to create another painting with his depiction of nightmarish book burning by the Nazis' - The Devil's Dance. The archaic scroll with the proclamation of "Faith, Hope, and Love", I hope, echoed the perverse scene in the book.
This painting was inspired by passages from Günter Grass's novel The Tin Drum (Die Blechtrommel).
