What I am all about.

Friedrich Zettl, born in 1954, began painting as an autodidact. After visiting an exhibition by the Fantastic Realists, his interest in painting was aroused. After initial copies of old masters and his first surrealist works, he soon tried his hand at the Impressionists and soon afterwards with the Expressionists. It was Monet, Van Gogh and later Oskar Kokoschka in particular who fueled his love for painting and shaped it for some time. The surrealists continued to exert influence with their literary works. As a co-founder of Fettfleck, a magazine for literature and art, literature took on a certain status alongside painting.
