This inspired collection
of over forty original paintings by Greg Tricker portrays the extraordinary
life of Kaspar Hauser. The paintings have a visionary quality which
presents a fresh, contemporary image of Kaspar Hauser, portrayed as
the Holy Fool, on a path of sacrifice akin to the suffering of Christ.
The mysterious life
of Kaspar Hauser is explored by the writer and artist Johannes Steuck
with a foreword by Jonathan Stedall.
"Not since the
paintings of Cecil Collins have I seen work that captures so poignantly
the essential purity and innocence of the human being. The Holy Fool
is, thank heaven, alive and well in the hands of Greg Tricker."
Jonathan Stedall.
