| biography:
| Poet, novelist, and visual artist, born in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. He is a man of versatile talent who, in both his writing and art, displays a fascination for World War 2, and associated notions such as power, hostility, and guilt. During the 1970s he joined with writer and television maker Cherry Duyns, and writer/performer Johnny van Doorn, combining their talents in the television series Herenleed (Gentlemen's Grief). In his work, Armando acts as an observer who records human behaviour and occurrences objectively. His novel De straat en het struikgewas (1988, The Street and the Shrub) is generally regarded as his most influential work. His artwork is also held in high esteem. |
