Poster for a draft in colored pencil over pencil for the Janssen exhibition by Edition Huber. Dimensions: 30 in x 22 in (76 cm x 56 cm) Horst Janssen was a German draftsman, printmaker, poster artist & illustrator. He had a prolific output of drawings, etchings, woodcuts, lithographs & 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 & graphic works was shown in 1965, first in the kestnergesellschaft Hanover, then in other German cities & in Basel. in 1966, he was awarded Hamburg's Edwin Scharff Prize. International exhibitions followed. in 1968, he received the Grand Prize in graphic art at the Venice Biennale; in 1977, his works were shown at the documenta VI in Kassel. The Horst Janssen Museum in his hometown of Oldenburg is dedicated to his legacy. His work is shown internationally in major museums. What is special about exhibition & gallery posters is that they are an affordable way of getting good, unique art on the walls, as although it is not an artists original, neither is it something that has been mass reproduced. Because of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear & tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, & edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the charm. These posters are sent as unframed. They are delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.
