Bibliography. Includes paintings and drawings by the author. Dust jacket has a crease the runs from the front to the back. This is the memoir of Leo Saal's life beginning in Czarist Russia and continuing in Soviet Russia and Germany during the first half of the 20th century. It describes his childhood as part of the German cultural community of St. Petersburg imprisonment and years in the Gulag and the campaigns of World War II first on the Russian and then on the German side of the conflict. Following WWII Leo Saal literally "joined the circus" painting set designs and backdrops. The circus theme as a metaphor would continue in his work. Russian-born artist Leo Saal 1912-1996 was born in Petrograd now Saint-Petersburg Russia shortly before the Bolshevik Revolution. He endured three years in The Gulag and was captured by Germany during WWII. He worked in the circus and theater and was trained in photography and filmmaking. He moved to Washington DC when he was invited to work for the CIA in 1953. Throughout all this and over six decades Saal managed to draw sketch do printmaking make collages and paint - often inspired by early references to turn-of-the-century Russian paintings. Recurring themes were frequently related to European history the circus metaphor mother and child and the beach. Saal was primarily self-taught and created thousands of pieces with strong influences from Beckman Picasso Manet Feininger Velasquez and Goya. Leo Saal was born in St. Petersburg Russia in 1912 to a Russian-German family whose German branch came to Russia in the 1860's. He attended the St. Petri School there but was denied a university education because of his bourgeois background and learned photography and filmmaking. He was arrested in 1930 and again in 1933 when he was sent to labor camps for several years. After his release he lived and worked illegally in Moscow with his first family. Unable to follow his main interest in drawing and painting he worked as a construction supervisor on the Moscow-Volga Canal and as assistant to architect Aleksander Pasternak. Mobilized as a civilian construction worker during World War II he found himself behind German lines and surrendered. For the rest of the war he worked in German military intelligence in a technical capacity. At the end of the war he made his living as a painter in Germany until his second marriage when he began work with the German-American intelligence community. He emigrated to the U.S. in 1953 where he continued to work in intelligence until his retirement in 1973 when he was able to devote himself to the painting career he had begun earlier. He worked as a painter and printmaker in the Washington D.C. area until his death in 1996 shortly after publication of "Crossings."
