The Mysterious Art of Sascha Schneider
In today’s episode, we will be discussing the mysterious art of Sascha Schneider, a German symbolist that the world has largely forgotten about. Sascha Schneider's characters go beyond being mere expressions of homoeroticism, which seems to be the main tag given to his overall body of work; the unique way in which he imagined the beings in his art, really set him aside from other expressionists of his era. With a rich imagination, that sprung from a cultivated mind, Sascha Schneider should have conquered the art world; instead, he got lost in the tumult of history and by the Second World War he became increasingly forgotten. We can change all that, by learning and speaking about his enthralling art!
