Comments about Tidalwave
Werner Reichhold, West Coast artist /author, offers a mini-museum in
which he invites the viewer to wander. The museum is made of paper, suggest substance, moves like a tidal wave, quite literary pulls
together threads of his life, and beckons to the reader.
It is composed of haiku, tanka, other texts, installations, drawings,
collages, photographs, photomontages and sensuality. Reichhold has
shown massive steel-installations in galleries and museums in his
native Germany, Italy, France, in the Americas and elsewhere.
In his book Reichhold has attempted successfully to create the power of one of his giant installation in a new form

Comments about Tidalwave
I think that the energy, the motivation behind a work, the strength of
values, are paramount. The light touch, humor, cuts far deeper into the human psyche than reasons and intelligence. He has chattered the barrier to the subconscious beyond the capacities of most of us, proof to the strength of the artist in him.
And to do this without being overwhelmed and driven to insanity, your
lightness is both a cultivated defense and necessity. Perhaps the only sane approach to life.
Reichhold: Keep breaking the barriers of rationality; use your multiple
skills to detonate a lot of rigid mind sets in the haiku community
today – something needed. It appears that many who write haiku today are multi-talented, with professional dancers, singers, mimes,
photographers, and other art forms represented. There must be something about haiku, ZEN and oriental philosophy that appeals to a variety of artistic sensibilities.

Wisconsin

Comments about Handshake
What I appreciate in Werner Reichhold’s drawings, is their
unpredictable, revelatory character. They certainly present experience of reality. I find the drawings charming. Their crazy intensity travels the full
emotional range from the sublime to the corrupt. I enjoy their often
nasty, almost perverse whimsy as well as their obvious elegance. There is a delightfully rambunctious, almost wickedly prankster-prone quality about them that is entirely entertaining. Their spirit seems quite wonderful human.

Larry Junkins, Professor of the Art Department of the University of
Wisconsin, Madison Comments about Tidalwave

I appreciate Werner Reichhold’s Tidalwave as one of a growing number of artwork by artists whose creative endeavor ultimately focuses on the value of art to the realization of a more compassionate world. Such artists see art as a viable means to the development of language and still communicate a vision of hope for our planet and all its people.
It is my appreciation that this movement is the “avant-garde” of
contemporary art. I also believe the exploration of art as a technology
to heal individuals and nations is the ultimate source of aesthetic
renewal.
Any breakthrough to a profound artistic vision will derive from the
energy that flows from the passion for the reconstruction of our world
from an attitude of peace for the planet Earth and its inhabitants.
This movement is gaining increased momentum throughout the world in many disciplines other than art, but art is the only one that can
create the appropriate images.
There is an urgent need for new symbols as well as the revivification
of the old ones that proclaim the simple vision of compassion. Now the challenge for artists is greater than ever before in history because of the need we have to develop images that speak not only of the
individual artist’s life but on a much deeper level call forth a memory
of a common collective bond. Now and in the future if art does not
speak of the fact of universal human aspiration it will have failed
entirely.
