At the time I read about the study, I had already become fascinated with modern and contemporary German art, mainly as a living continuation of surrealism, transposed into a realistic mode which could illustrate Franz Kafka's writings very well. And when I found Almut Heise's works at Artnet's Artist Works Catalogs in 2009, I didn't hesitate to present several to OEN's readers, here; the title of the piece was 'Surrealist Portraiture: Five Paintings by Almut Heise.'
