PFEIFFER

from page 53

the outer shape of the hat.
"Having grown up in a society that
was totally censored, [I took those expe-
riences] with me all of my life, and they
come out in these book works:"
Born two years before the start of
World War II, the artist, who is not
Jewish, recalls using a slate board and
stylus instead of paper and pencil.
"To this day, I'm very intimidated by
the big, expensive launching of paper
that sits in front of me, and I have to
start manipulating and doing something
with it:' he explains.
Pfeiffer's art studies began with a high-
school apprenticeship and continued at a
four-year academy in Stuttgart.
"I came to the U.S. in the spring of
1961:' he recalls. "I had to get away from
Germany. There was too much history
that was troubling me. America, at the
time, was the promised land:'
Among the Jewish artists repre-
sented in "Werner Pfeiffer Selects"
are El Lissitzky with The Spectacle
Machinery, a color lithograph; Nancy
Spero, with Helicopter-Thrown

Victims, a silver metallic gouache and
black ink on paper; and Lee Friedlander
with Cincinnati, Ohio, a gelatin silver
print.
Although Pfeiffer has dedicated his
career to paper, the exhibition catalog
will be an e-book. The idea is to show
how his works move and re-form.
