Biography:Aja Iskander-Schmidlin (Swiss, 1932-2007)Aja Iskander Schmidlin (sometimes, Bhikkhu Sumedha) was born in Switzerland, but held a German passport. He became a Buddhist monk, and spent the last 25 years of his life in the Manapadassana Lena cave in Dulvala, near Kandy. His name as a Buddhist monk was Bhikkhu Sumedha, and it was under this name that his last exhibition "The Truth is Unbelievable" was held at the Goethe-Institute, Sri Lanka in 2007, the year after his death. Beginning in 1958, the Swiss artist Sven Knebel (born 1927) established a publishing firm to promote the work of young writers and artists. Felix Rellstab joined him as an editor. The oversize format of their quarterly magazine Spektrum accommodated large scale original woodcuts, linocuts, and screen prints in every issue.Authors include Günter Eich, Max Frisch, Ludwig Hohl, Alfred Andersch, Rainer Brambach, Walter Gross, and many others. One of artist Knebel frequently published was the German printmaker Helmut Andreas Paul (HAP) Grieshaber (1909-1981), who cut large, dramatic images on course wood blocks. Bert Schmidmeister, Samuel Lier, Viktor Hermann, and Juana Faure are among the many other artists given a platform at Spektrum. ......................................................................................................
