Annotation

Childhood memory of the post-war youth. On the other side of the street the boys jumped into the Fulda and swam. Dressed only in leather or linen trousers and with father's old hat on the head, the 'good shoes' disposed of, the two boys seem to take a some rest from 'Gägchen game'.

Sculptor

Ewald Rumpf (Posen 1943), German sculptor from Remsfeld, Hessen (Website).
