Armando

Armando, born Herman Dirk van Dodeweerd, was a Dutch painter, sculptor, poet, writer, violinist, actor, journalist, film, television and theater maker. Armando was his official name; his birth name, the pseudonym as he called it, no longer existed for him. He himself saw his work as «Gesamtkunstwerk», based on his experiences from the Second World War in the vicinity of Kamp Amersfoort.
