'Deitrech Bonhoeffer' mixed media on canvas 16"x24" 2017 MO
Last Summer I read an biography about Detrich Bonhoeffer, a German pastor and member of the underground resistance. He was imprisoned by the NAZIs for his part in an assasination plot against Hitler.
I went on to read a couple of books by Bonhoeffer which included theology, devotionals, poetry and letters written while he was in prision. He was executed days before the allies invaded Berlin.
Bonhoeffer's sacrifices innspired this painting.
