Artists Describing Their Art:

Istvan Horkay - Kleist once wrote: ,,The Poet would be happiest if he could express his Thoughts without Words."(,,What an interesting Admission!" wrote Ludwig Wittgenstein.),,Someone, Somewhere" is how I title my Works, thinking of the Free Individual, who Himself has become the Center of the of Our Post Human Age, the Focus of Our Collective Memory.The Question is How to give Visual Expression to that Memory, so that the thus created Contents, can leave a Lasting Impression.An Idea or an Image acquires a New Dimension as it is combined with other Images....
