Herdin with Salvatore Dali 1978 in Cadaqués
During 1978 – 1982/83 Herdin Radtke enjoyed the unique opportunity to live and work in Cadaques / Spain in the vicinity of the art community around Salvadore Dali. It is here that he developed his first ideas to start a new movement which he later called POMPONISM. POMPONISM is based on a high degree of manual painting skills. As opposed to Surrealism it employs elements which are quite differrent and aim at a change in identity in painting.
