Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Cotllwyd below Carningli One of the highest dwellings above the town, this 'grey cottage' was once the home of a well-regarded German artist, Friedrich Konekamp (1897-1977). He fought on the Somme in WW1, was captured and taken to a POW camp in Scotland. AFter returning to Germany he became a socialist and made political posters and art in Berlin. He travelled a great deal and, in Britain when WW2 started, he was interned in Canada. After the war he married and lived here for the next 20 years, running a smallholding and sought out by artists and students who he taught and encouraged: the Cotllwyd group. His creativity at this period was inspired by his Christianity and the local scenery. After 1970 he returned to Germany and received a number of honours before he died.
The cottage is a typical mountain smallholding, not enhanced by the addition of a large garage! |
