Horst Blaich Knihy

The narrative explores the experiences of the German Templers during a tumultuous decade, highlighting their expulsion from Palestine to Australia between 1941 and 1950. It delves into their struggles and adjustments as they navigate life in a new country after being displaced, particularly during the significant geopolitical shifts surrounding the establishment of modern Israel in 1948. The journey from Palestine through Cyprus to Australia reveals themes of resilience and adaptation amid historical upheaval.

Creative Works is a very condensed and rich volume containing many (if not all) H. Blaich's creations; out of the vast collection, there emerges an artist in heart, gifted and sensitive, with a deep sense for composition, color, exceptional command of media and an eye for subjects having the potential to become art. Blaich paintedsketched and drew almost everything: landscapes, flowers, buildings, horses, and most of all people: men, women, children and historical figures. All in various media, some fast sketches providing the spirit of the subject, some detailed studies.
