Volume 3: Workbook Ce 1: On Zanis Waldheims' (1909-1993) Path

We suggest you to travel back to the last century and to imagine that you are the artist, philosopher and thinker Zanis Waldheims tracing and colouring one of his geometrical and abstract works. In this booklet, it is ten from his 650 original works that you will have the possibility to copy following the detailed instructions. You can choose to work using two different types of tools: - similar hand tools to those Waldheims used, a drawing board, a ruler, a set square, a protractor, a pair of compasses, pencils and crayons; -computer programmes such as CAD software programmes which didn't exist during the realisation of these works. During the colouring step, you will have the choice to fulfil: - your mastering of colours and shadings by copying the ones from the original work; -your creativity by choosing your own colours and shadings. DIFFICULTY LEVELS To achieve and colour the drawing lines, you can choose amongst 5 difficulty levels. - Not taking accounts of the instructions and go directly to the colouring by choosing the paper version of the booklet . - To widen the drawing, paper version , using a projector or a square pattern, to then colour it. - To trace and colour to the desired dimensions following the instructions and validating the results with the illustrations of the works. - To trace and colour to the desired dimensions following the instructions without looking at the illustration. This booklet has been imagined from this perspective. -To trace without looking at the instructions, using the final drawing, to compose your own instructions and coming to the same result. THE MAN Zanis Waldheims was born in Jaunpils in Latvia, a small country from the north of Eastern Europe. At the end of the Second World War, he found himself, in 1945, in a refugee camp in Bamberg in Germany, then becomes a worker in France in 1949. The Yalta Conference of February 1945 which dispose of his country and many others to the communist regime of Moscow leave, to this qualified lawyer, an extremely sour taste which he will never recover totally, so absurd and incomprehensible the act of the Westerners seems to him during this historic event. In 1952, at 43 years old, he decides to emigrate to Canada. He settled in Montreal where he is hired as a manoeuvre in a warehouse. He then pushed himself entirely in the writing of a book, to denounce the post-war unfairness lived by his Latvian fellow countrymen and himself, also by the other people that have all dove in horror. He frequently gets to the Montreal city's library where he goes through hundreds of volumes as he is searching a sense to his broken life. Through his readings, he coincidently fell on the idea of "the creation of a map for the human orientation" of the Age of inlightenment's French philosopher Maine de Biran. It's, however, to that map instead of his book that he now dedicates the rest of his life. His quest of meaning leads him, in 1958, to the beginnings of an abstract and geometrical art and, on a period of thirty years, to the production of approximately six hundred original works After a few serious but unsuccessful attempts with the objective to make his art and ideas known, he withdraws into himself. Despite everything he doesn't give up. Inspired by his map for the human orientation, he begins, in 1961, the writing of a theory about his ideas of geometric abstraction. Despite the fact that his works are undeniably beautiful, he doesn't sell a single one, as if they were part of a great history book from which we do not take the pages apart, and his theory, completed in 1970, will never be published. He dies in 1993 completely unknown from the public in spite of the exhibitions which took place in Lachine in 1976 and 1992, in Mount St-Hilaire in 1981, in Montreal in 1983 and 1992.
