Media: Acrylic on stretched canvas, all edges painted with correspondent motif colors
Size: 7.9x7.9 in
The sound of a bleating lamb came across this rotten and musty swamp. My eyes filled with pain as I looked through the greasy window glass into the dark room. The only light in this larder was a sooty torch. Suddenly the lamb went silent. His loaf was surgically splitten by a sharp scalpel. His rotten body was infested with slimy maggots and allowed no other conclusion: This was the work of a lunatic pedant with a fanatic love for the dreadful »Rite of Casu Marzu« (see HERE).Not even better than this was my story-telling in my best (or worst) times in the lower third class in school. At that time, children dutifully celebrated the Reformation-Day. »Halloween« was introduced to Germany in 1978 by John Carpenter's (amho) bad horror movie.
