Kerstin Garbracht:
Dedicated to forging: Ulrich Schmied
Jan 10, 2006
Nomen est omen, as ancient Romans used to say, and this especially is true for Ulrich Schmied, whose family name denotes blacksmith. Nice idea, but a popular fallacy. With this artist, it was just the other way round. He was so attracted by the occupational image of a blacksmith that he even adopted this name. Hitting his website, you will find his personal motto "Alle Menschen m�ssen sterben, nur die schwarzen Schmiede nicht. Denn sie sind aus Stahl und Eisen, und diese mag der Teufel nicht." This rhyme means: no man can escape death except the blacksmith, for he is of steel and iron which the devil loathes.
