Die Felder "Gerhard Altenbourg made an early acquaintance with the power and the limits of the regime of the German Democratic Republic during his student days. He was obliged to break off his studies at the University of Architecture and Fine Arts in Weimar because the 'amorality of his motifs' met with criticism. The young artist was abruptly exmatriculated. Despite the constantly recurring political restrictions, the growing effect of his work within the cultural life of the GDR as well as in West Germany could not be stopped. The work of Altenbourg is to a particularly great extent the expression of a search for individuality. In the course of this, he developed an artistic style that went beyond the dictum of socialist realism. The works of Altenbourg come from a world of forms both representative and abstract, in which the viewer can find not only the landscape of Altenbourg's native region of Thuringia but also the joy in the artistic-creative process itself and the horror of 'Excavations in the Wilderness of the Psyche'", like this drwaing is telling us." umfassenden Werk wider: Feine Liniennetze und zarte Aquarellflächen legen sich Schicht um Source: www.ifa.de/en/exhibitions/exhibitions-abroad/bk/gerhard-altenbourg/
