#forgotten artist

[germanpostwarmodern]

From time to time I discover largely forgotten artists and architects whose work immediately strikes me as original and which leaves me wondering why they aren’t better known. One such artist is Franz Pauli (1927-70), a painter and stained glass artist based in Cologne. In fact Pauli studied biology and art at the Cologne Werkkunstschule, the Düsseldorf Art Academy and Cologne University to become a teacher but never worked as one. Among his teachers were Otto Pankok in Düsseldorf and Friedrich Vordemberge-Gildewart in Cologne and especially the latter’s example of Constructivism had a lasting impact on Pauli: up until his untimely death Pauli refined his constructivist language towards a highly individual idiom characterized by distinctive sense of rhythm and order inspired by technical symbols and circuitry. This formal vocabulary he also applied in his manifold stained glass designs for churches in predominantly the Cologne, Paderborn and Essen dioceses.

The present little book, published alongside the artist‘s retrospective exhibition at Maternushaus Köln in 1988, contains a brief cross-section of Pauli‘s œuvre that includes stained glass works, graphics, paintings and gouaches. The latter are characterized by horizontal and vertical layers that sometimes even include figurative elements, a significant deviation from his other works. It seems that Pauli despite his largely constructivist art never completely abandoned figuration as it frequently appears in his stained glass works too. In spite of his early death the artist left a very interesting and diverse oeuvre that unfortunately is very much forgotten.

"Go on then, try to conquer the Hells. Shop around, beg, borrow, and steal, Raphael. Exhaust every possibility until none are left." — a conversation that could probably happen between Raphael and Mephistopheles in the past, the topic being Raphael's ambitions.

I tried to project some features of the devil we know on his father to show that even though they're related, they're still very different monstrosities. Also I picked the blue color for Mephisto for artistic purposes (okay he is canonically red I suppose, let's just consider it an option)

"MY ARMY SETTLED IN THE VALLEY of Barovia and took power over the people in the name of a just god, but with none of a god's grace or justice." -- Tome of Strahd

"Raven's Inquisition" is a Curse of Strahd prequel campaign I am currently playing in where we get to explore setting elements and character relations that otherwise could not have been explored in the canon module. The DM @emp-roar (me) is constructing the campaign as an adaptation of the "I, Strahd" novel, where Barovia has yet been established, Strahd is still human, and the players are all inquisitors overtaking the Tsolenka Valley under the von Zarovich crest and the banner of the Morninglord.

Hi all! It has been a while since I've been on the internet, but I have since graduated and pursuing a career in animation! I was gifted the I,Strahd book during the middle of the pandemic and had been itching to run a prequel campaign based on an adapted take of I, Strahd, exploring elements that made Barovia and ultimately, Strahd, the way it became.

Hope you like the Ravenloft cast who the party had met. (Unironically this looks like a dating sim.)

Additionally the breakdown of Sergei's Vestments can be found in my player's @tateringss arsenal.

Impera Brigade insignia credit goes to ChiRHOKin I adored the shape of his alternative Barovia flag.

Strahd Portrait belongs to WOTC and the overall design and style was heavily inspired by Thronebreaker a Witcher's Tale!

And lastly! SOL INVICTUS!
