Book Synopsis
In "Fire and Chalk" Horst Thurheimer demonstrates his new way of painting, using his innovative techniques. To create his compositions Thurheimer uses not only acrylic paints and paintbrushes, but also fire, via the flame of a Bunsen burner, and various sorts of crayons. This volume provides an overview of his oeuvre, including his most recent works.

The seventy colored illustrations in this book offer readers a fascinating insight into the world of a new artistic technique. Through his ability to produce unconventional works of art that go beyond traditional painting method, Thurheimer creates compositions of great elemental beauty. Particularly in his more recent works, Horst Thurheimer's Fire and Chalk show the overlapping of the themes of destruction and healing, each reinforcing the other’s evocative effect, with powerful and moving painterly results. Thurheimer works tirelessly to expand the possibilities of his art to its full potential.
