Description

Altdorf's earliest poems, written during military service and as a prisoner of war, reflected on nature, poetry and art.

Beginning a new life, post-war, as an artist, Altdorf explored how the human figure might be depicted through increasingly abstract representations.

Similarly, he refined his poetry to create 'a new, free, melodic' language' with 'a simple, song-like beauty'.

Presenting Altdorf's poetry alongside his art reveals a powerfully interconnected vision shaped but not defined by war: a humanitarian outlook informed by a profound spiritual belief.
