Kurt Vonnegut - Birthday greetings from Ruairí O'Brien























My Birthday greetings for Kurt Vonnegut, born 11.11.1922 !

And as a small gift or gesture I am publishing as preview a drawing depicting a small section of the Vonnegut information sculpture I have designed for the Slaughterhouse in Dresden where Vonnegut was held as prisoner of war. It was here that he experienced the destruction of Dresden. The work will be installed on the wall in the basement where the prisoners of war were housed. The historical building is today the Trade fair center in Dresden.

The work will be presented to the public on the 13. febuary 2013 a very special day in the city of Dresden which is used each year to discuss the futility of war.
