About the German photographer, Einar SCHLEEF (1944-2001).

"Einar Wilhelm Heinrich SCHLEEF was a German theater director, writer, set designer, painter, photographer, graphic artist and actor. He grew up in the GDR and moved to the Federal Republic of Germany in 1976. His art, in its subjective radicalism in all areas, is a 'singular' testimony to his profound and aesthetically uncompromising examination of the post-war history of divided and reunified Germany."
