Already a well-known representative of the «Arte Povera» movement, in the late 1990s Johann Widmer began to explore the field of abstract, informal painting.
His credo was that all the arts (including music and literature) are important pillars of our civilisation and should therefore be made accessible to everyone by various means.
In addition to his extensive artistic output, Johann Widmer has always written short stories for young and old. But he avoids the term «writer». He sees himself more as an art mediator and is happy when his books are read.
Starting in August 2009, he dedicated a picture to each month, which he accompanied with a matching text.
This book is therefore a compilation of the artistic work and the short stories and shows the «monthly pictures» as a collected work.
The texts are not intended to influence the viewer's own imagination when looking at the pictures, but they may suggest a way of looking at the picture.
