A new Monograph on Lothar Wolleh
It is hard not to think of Lothar Wolleh in terms of opposites. At first sight, after all, his colour photography seems to contrast with the restrained imagery in black and white. And his well-advised visual language too, seemed to stand out from his flamboyant personality and his downright dazzling enthusiasm. And it is in this light, that we understand how the hardships of his youth, the devastation of the Second World War and six years of imprisonment in a Soviet Gulag camp, have contributed to a persistency in advocating beauty. With Lothar Wolleh, it seems unjust to separate the one from the other: yesterday’s ‘shadows’ and the will to endure, to create and to ‘step into the light’.
