Horst Janssen, the genius of graphic art, counts among the most renowned artists of the 20th century. His etchings, drawings, lithographs and woodcuts, which can largely be ascribed to Phantastic Realism, most certainly mark the peak in the history of graphic art.
In portraits and self portraits, still lifes and landscapes Horst Janssen turned reality into bizarre and ironic, poetic and profound images, always carried by an unmistakable, both filigree and yet powerful style.
The international acknowledgement of Horst Janssen is not only proven by numerous exhibitions all over the world: The renowned Hamburg Kunsthalle set up a permanent "Janssen-Kabinett", and the "Horst-Janssen-Museum" exclusively shows works by the master.
