"The Late Dr Heidegger, Nazi H-1 " by D. H. Hermanson, 12' x 12" digital painting, 56 megapixels in 16 bit colour, printed on matte finished Moab 300 gsm archival paper.
This was the second in a series of digital paintings in which I try to convey my ambivalence with the late Dr. Heidegger. As a graduate student in religion and philosophy, Heidegger’s summa, Being and Time, along with a series of essays and seminar papers on the pre-Socratics were at the centre of my work. I was not nearly so eager in my response to his other work, which I found to be soaked to the bone with a ferocious kind of nostalgia, a dangerous romanticism for hearth and race.
