Author Description

The first comprehensive publication on the work of Peter Stauss, this book vividly traces the content- and image-related developments of the last ten years, enabling a complex overall view of work which previously could only be seen in individual exhibitions. The artist's work is special in the way it combines essential philosophical themes with questions of the genesis of form in painting and sculpture. The numerous illustrations show clearly how Stauss approaches the human being, and, via the procedural and random, form itself, from the starting point of the animal motif.
