Surrealism: A Search for Freedom by John Schlechter

This Dutch-Indonesian artist fought in the Dutch Royal Army during WWII and was a POW. His surrealist paintings reflect a lifetime of work created while living in Indonesia, Holland, and finally Iowa. He painted daily and ended his career as a respected surrealism painter and junior high art teacher living in Ottumwa. This exhibit is on loan from the Schlecter family and Indian Hills Community College's Permanent Collection.
