Peter Robert Keil (Born 1942) Acrylic on Canvas, Signed, Measures (30 x 24 inches) Peter Robert Keil was born in August 1942 in Züllichau I Pommern (now Poland). His father was killed in the early years of World War II. After the death of his father on the Eastern Front, mother and son set out to make their way through the chaos of battered Germany to West Berlin. There he grew up in the neighborhood of grey blocks of houses, the typical backyards and the trees of the park nearby. There the young Keil attended school with singer and actress Conny Froboess and film star Horst Buchholz. Ten-year-old Peter Robert Keil fascinated by the books he found in the art section of the local library. There he admired the works of the Expressionists, Picasso in particular. The expressiveness of the vivid color opened a way to temporarily escape from the dullness and depression of everyday life in post-war Germany
