Scope and Contents

Wikipedia: Ludwig Zeller Ocampo (1927-) is a Chilean, surreal visual artist/poet ow living in Mexico. His father came from Chile from Germany to work as a manufacturer of dynamite to the copper mines. From childhood he was a voracious reader and thanks to that learned poetry. Along with his first wife, Wera Zeller, translated to Spanish German Romantics. He was a cCutting-edge innovator and directed the Gallery of Ministry of Education in Chile from 1952-1968. That same year he left the gallery, founded the literary magazine and the Moon Coffee House in Villavicencio Street in Aubrey neighborhood of Santiago. In 1970, he organized the exhibition Surrealism in Chile in the Catholic University, which, in addition to his works, exhibited those of Roberto Matta, Nemesio Antunez, Enrique Zanartu, Opazo Rodolfo Sepulveda Viterbo, Valentina Cruz, Susana Wald and others. He left Chile the following year, along with his wife, artist Susana Wald, and three of her four children. They settled in Toronto, Canada (there founded Oasis Publications), until they moved to Mexico , where they have live in Oaxaca since 1993. His poetry shows great influence of visuality as it considers some visual expressions such as poetry, for example, collage , feature by placing images on paper in the manner of the verses in the poem. He has directed several magazines and publishing houses. He currently lives with his wife Susan at his home in the alley of the Moon, in San Andres Huayapam, eight kilometers from Oaxaca. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
