AS AN ARTIST KAYSER HAS NEVER TAKEN THE BEATEN PATH, HIS WORK HAS ALWAYS BEEN UNEXPECTED AND FAR AHEAD OF HIS TIME. HE POLARIZED, BAFFLED AND FASCINATED, ALL OVER THE WORLD.

2020 KAYSER DID ANOTHER QUANTUM LEAP AND COME OUT WITH THE C5 PROJECT: ART THAT PRETENDS TO BE FOR CHILDREN, ACTUALLY EVEN IS FOR CHILDREN BUT REALLY IS A HUMOROUS, PHILOSOPHICALLY DEEP AND LIBERATING REBELLION AGAINST BUREAUCRACY, MERITOCRACY AND IDIOCRATY.

THE FIRST OF MANY ADVENTURES OF THE C5, THE UNCATEGORIZEABLE MASTERPIECE OF TODAY'S MOST CREATIVE AND UNORTHODOX ARTIST. ILLUSTRATED IN 3D RENDERINGS FULL OF LOVE TO DETAIL BY ELLA LU.

HANK MARTIN IS WELL KNOWN FOR HIS TO-THE-POINT SELF IMPROVEMENT GUIDES. NOW HANK SURPRISES US WITH A WITTY AND INSIGHTFUL PORTRAIT OF HIS FRIEND, THE WEIRD AND INGENIOUS KAI H. KAYSER: THE GENIUS PAINTER WHO DOESN'T LIKE TO PAINT, THE ARTIST WHO DOESN'T LIKE BEING CALLED THAT AND DESIGNER WHO DEFINES HIMSELF AS CREATOR.

HANK MARTIN HAS SEEN KAYSER WORK AGAINST ALL ODDS AND SUCCEED AT DOING WHAT EVERYBODY DEEMED IMPOSSIBLE. BUT HE ALSO SAW KAYSER PAY THE PRICE.

IN THIS MONOGRAPH LITERATURE MEETS ART, DESIGN AND OBSESSION IN A SOMETIMES HILARIOUS, SOMETIMES HEARTWRENCHING WAY. INSPIRING, NOT ONLY FOR ART HISTORIANS BUT EVERYBODY INTERESTED IN THE CORRELATION OF GENIUS AND CREATIVE OBSESSION.
