The 'New Wilds' was an artistic movement that emerged in Germany in the last quarter of the twentieth century. The 'New Wilds' believed their ultimate goal was to renew artistic vision through aesthetic shock. The Wild Hunt, according to popular myth, believed their ultimate goal was to renew the world as a whole, but also through aesthetic shock. How else can one explain their unceremonious manner of invading the world of the living in the form of a cavalcade of terrifying ghosts, an encounter few could survive? The author of this book also believes his ultimate goal is to renew the world, or at least artistic vision, although he recognizes that compared to Kiefer, Baselitz, and Odin, his chances are slim.
