内容概要

Horst Janssen (14 November 1929 – 31 August 1995) was a German draftsman, printmaker, poster artist and illustrator. He had a prolific output of drawings, etchings, woodcuts, lithographs and wood engravings.

Janssen was a student of Alfred Mahlau at the Landeskunstschule Hamburg. He first published in the newsweekly Die Zeit in 1947. In the early 1950s, he started working in lithography, on an initiative of Aschaffenburg paper manufacturer Guido Dessauer, using the technical facilities of a coloured paper factory. The first retrospective of Janssen's drawings and graphic works was shown in 1965, first in the kestnergesellschaft Hanover, then in other German cities and in Basel. In 1966, he was awarded Hamburg's Edwin Scharff Prize. International exhibitions followed. In 1968, his graphic art earned the Great Prize at the Venice Biennale; in 1977, his works were shown at the documenta VI in Kassel.

作者简介

Cultural history is an excellent term to sum up the task of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum. Art,whether old or contemporary, is not primarily seen and shown as in a collection of paintings or sculptures,but connected with other genres and subjected to various questions. Beuys' suit is not shown next to a work by Roy Lichtenstein but next to the Braun -Schneewittchensarg a classic among consumer goods. The paintings of Durer hang not far from a sixteenth-century pilgrim's outfit and a collection of medals, and next to the oldest globe in the world. In this way the collections of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum provide an introduction to the contemporary and art history of the respective epochs. Most areas of the museum are indeed organised on a chronological pattern.
