Special feature (s) / context / about the artist:

About Peter Hohberger (*1939), formerly actor, now sculptor and painter: The sculptor Peter Hohberger, born in Silesia on November 12, 1939, already dealt with drawing and modeling as a child. After a successful career as an actor, he has been devoting himself to painting and visual art for many years. He consciously sees himself as a sculptor in the classic sense. His aesthetic basic understanding is shaped by nature; It is the beauty of the human body itself, which fascinates him and which it unaffected by modernism in his files and portrait busts. He does not deny his role models: they are the masters of ancient Greece, Auguste Rodin and especially Arno Breker, who personally instructed him. He learned from everyone, and not only in the accuracy with which he knows how to present the beauty of the female body. Hohberger says: "Art that enriches life and delights people survives any kind of so -called zeitgeist".
