The shepherd-chariot hermit and
his museum
Art in a small picture format of Hans Anthon
Wagner
In 1974, Anthon Wagner moved from the civilisation
into a discarded four square metres shepherd-chariot. This is where Hans
Anthon Wagner started with the painting of his art in small format. 32 years
later, the Museum Anthon opened. It shows 400 of the more than 3000 paintings
of the graphic artist and hermit in rotation at the natural park Schönbuch.
The handicraft on the cast-iron printing press of 1892 still fascinates the
visitors.
From the big windows of the museum you can see
the orchard meadows around Breitenholz. A village of 700 souls, aside from
the traffic. From the chair in the middle of the room, you get an overview of
the diversity of the 10 x 10 centimeter-exhibits. But every step closer
reveals more details. Lithography, xylography and paintings. Drawing ink,
watercolour and oil paint. With captions such as "Bee",
"Gorgosnoff", "LeonardoTree", "Haredance" and
"Summiteer".
Some acquire paintings, if the scarce number
of editions allows it. Hans Anthon Wagner is a humorous person. His works
reveal this. This spirit is passed on. A pleasant side effect of the big art
in a small frame format.
