NOTE:
Prince Jurgen von Anhalt created his paintings with the use of heat and velocity of a jet engine. To accomplish this, von Anhalt directed paint into a force several times greater than hurricane Winds; the heat from the jet engine welds and blends the paint onto reinforced canvas. The jet blast itself created the most unusual texture and structure, which von Anhalt believed could not be achieved by brush or palette knife alone. His paintings capture his vision of color, texture and balance and reflect the cities where the productions were executed. No stranger to dramatic moments, von Anhalt's works were often created amidst large audiences and television cameras.
