Helmut Nimczewski

Vladimir.R

Hello,

I post this forum question in order to find out a bit more about outsider artist Helmut Nimczewski. I know that he was born in 1945 or 1946 in Germany, and that he lives in Hamburg. I am grateful for any help.

Best regards,
V.

what kind of Artist was he? Do you know if he is still alive?

This is about a Swiss painter of the same name borne 1939.

I asked my girlfriend who is a painter borne in Poland and grown in hamburg, but she has not heard of him.

Cheers!

Well, it is the same person. Several web pages even stated his name as Nimozewski, but I consider the data provided by Collection de l'Art Brut, Lausanne to be the most accurate: .

Helmut is outsider artist, and he is alive, as far as I know. He has mental disorder, as far as I know, too.

What do you mean by Outsider Artist? like a juggler? what kind of mental disorder does he has? Are you related to him? why are you looking for him? Regards!

Vladimir.R

Well, art-brut artist, check on . I am not sure about kind of mental disorder. I am not related to him, I simply want to write an article, mostly about his art, but about his life too, as those are certainly connected. I have seen his drawings in Collection de l'Art Brut, Lausanne, and they are marvelous.

Hi, Thanks for the info. Ok, my girlfriend suggested to ask the Alsterdorf clinic



which specializes in working with mentally ill people ... Promoting their art? or something like that.....

Are you in Germany/Europe? I can call to ask. please let me know and I keep you posted.

Regards.

Well, I am in Serbia. It is quite lack of data about Helmut. I would be grateful if you provide me any. Besides internet, I have some books, but it is merely enough. Thank you.
