Title
Monument To The Unborn War Hero
Artist
Otto Rapp
Medium
Painting - Acrylic On Canvas
Description
One painting that seems to summarize Rapp's attitude is his "Monument To The Unborn War Hero". A large painting which includes scenes of brutality; tyranny; the soldier in various historical periods; images of Hitler; human sculls; alarming pictures of wolves; warplanes overhead and a very bold nude female figure giving birth to what appears to be a crucified figure of man. It is his visual summary of the consequences of war.
Rapp is an accomplished artist, and like so many European artists who have settled in Canada, he has a strong command of modern surrealist imagery.

I sort of missed this, probably late answering, but yes, why not! There are share buttons on top, right side of page - that's what they are for!

Very powerful stuff!!!! Desrves to be really analyzed ...not just for browsing: I am intrigued ...who is the person behind this work of art. VERY VERY INTERESTING!!
Otto Rapp
how long did it take me? I can't remember, this dates back to 1976 when I was still young and full of spit and vinegar, so I would guess about 2 weeks with a few naps and meal breaks inbetween ........

Great, thank you all! Any more accolades, and my head is going to explode .... maybe that should be the theme of another painting, lol!
