An artist with many facets
Eberhard Schlotter's artistic career began in his youth, and he developed a unique style influenced by Cubism and Fauvism while studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. After the Second World War, Schlotter increasingly turned to modern painting and erected numerous murals in Darmstadt, including “Joy of Life” and “Women Making Music”. These works reflect his longing for peace and joy of life, even if they were perceived as unfashionable in later years.

The Eberhard Schlotter Foundation in Altea was founded in 1995, further evidence of his tireless influence and commitment to preserving his work for posterity. His artistic achievements have been recognized with awards such as the Federal Cross of Merit and the Lower Saxony Order of Merit, and his legacy lives on.
