In Danger of Legacy Lost

During the period from August 2008 until April 2009 I had the privilege of meeting and getting to know a number of remarkable people.

A self-taught scientist and inventive engineer; a gifted poet and superb writer; an insightful philosopher; a social activist and mentor to many young people; and finally a brilliant, ground-breaking artist. 

It&apos;s unusual to meet such a diverse and exceptional group of people within such a short period of time. But the most remarkable thing of all was that all of these people were embodied in the person of one man, Juan Geuer! 

At just under thirty-four minutes, this film merely hints at the astounding depth of this man, but it does serve to give a brief overview of a remarkable life that, as we say in the film, &quot;reads like something out of Hollywood.&quot; 

It also introduces you to the wonderful personality, wit, sense of joy, appreciation of nature and its beauty, and love of his wonderful wife Els and their family that was Juan Geuer. To know Juan was to be profoundly touched by him.

But perhaps of greatest significance, it provides an introduction by the artist himself to a number of pieces from a body of work that is not merely ingenious and inventive, but genuinely revolutionary. Juan had a deep understanding of, and intimate connection with Gaia (Mother Earth). 

He sensed hidden beauty in nature where other artists didn&apos;t even suspect that such beauty might exist, and then devised brilliant ways to bring out and showcase that beauty. As Juan would often say, the art is not in the pieces I create, but rather in the beauty that they reveal. 

I believe that given the right exposure, Juan Geuer and his art will be remembered and appreciated long into the future along with the other greats from the art world.. It is my wish that this film contributes to providing that exposure.

And I hope that you enjoy it. That it will whet your appetitive to learn more about Juan Geuer and his art.
