Title:	In der Nahe der Sonne (Too Close to the Sun)
Artist:	Schneider, Herbert (Grieselbach, 1924 - Hintertal ved Saalfelden, 1983)
Date:	c. 1970 -1980
Medium:	Original Color Lithograph
Note:	Herbert Schneider: A twentieth century German painter, lithographer and etcher, Herbert Schneider studied art techniques at the Art Academy of Stuttgart, under Professor Willi Baumeister. Several years later he moved to Munich and remained there for most of his career. Herbert Schneider's first one man exhibition took place in that city in 1961 at the Galerie Deutscher Bucherbund. In the following year his art was the subject of an exhibition at the Konzerthaus, Vienna. Since that time Schneider's original prints and paintings have been included in exhibitions in such cities as Dusseldorf, Stuttgart, Berlin, Augsburg, Munich, Bremen, Nuremberg, Philadelphia, Washington, Dallas and New York.
	Early in his career Herbert Schneider was best known for his abstract and cubist art. Beginning around 1965, however, the artist began portraying a bold, colorful world, inhabited by beings of his own invention. Some critics have seen his art from this period -- of which this original lithograph entitled, "In der Nahe der Sonne" is a fine example -- as belonging to the genre of pop art. While comparable in the use of color and form, however, the main driving force behind Schneider's unique art is emotion, particularly the emotion of love. Passion guides the artist's choice of form and its intensity of coloration.
	Perhaps "In der Nahe der Sonne" is inspired by the myth of Daedalus and Icarus. However, no fatality will take place in this scene as the man has caught his falling lover in his arms. Sky, mountains, forests and sea are depicted in the background.
