Gerd Schmid-Villamor
Gerd Schmid-Villamor has travelled to the Orient several times in recent decades. He even has lived and worked in Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco. His fascination for these countries has accompanied him since childhood. As an artist, he is fascinated by the incomparable oriental light, the shimmering sunny yellow of the landscapes and the sharp shadows in the bazaars and alleys.
With his watercolours and oil paintings, Schmid-Villamor is part of a long tradition of Oriental painting that stretches from Slevogt to Klee, Macke and Kandinsky.
