A Joyful Collaboration

By Lisl Auf Der Heide

RalphAuf der Heide portrays a magical world...with artless art and consummate skill. His imagery is his own, but conjurs up references to Persian miniatures and Russian Lacquer boxes.The long love affair (67 years) between Ralph and Lisl was an enduring dialogue; no less was their collaboration of painting and poetry. An accomplished poet and writer, Lisl countered with refreshingly smart limericks that expanded the impact of his paintings. Her poetic contribution brings even further enjoyment to his works. Her limericks employ the same attitude and carry the same punch and small truths as the paintings. I quite imagine the both of them at the end of the day, side-by-side smiling as they viewed both painting and poetry completed.
