Press release of the Overbeck Museum:
Unverklungen - Jobst von Harsdorf on his 100th birthday
Jobst von Harsdorf (1924-2018) was many things at once: artist, lecturer and mentor, lithographer, draughtsman and painter, commercial graphic designer and professor of applied graphics at the University of the Arts in Bremen. His works, which he created with the lithographic stone, probably the heaviest artistic material, are characterised by a remarkable lightness. However, it was not only the visual arts that were close to his heart; music and literature, nature, architecture and travelling also provided him with constant inspiration for his diverse and multifaceted work, even into old age.
Jobst von Harsdorf would have been 100 years old this year. The Overbeck Museum is honouring the artist with an exhibition that brings together numerous works from different creative periods and in this way shows how his artistic work still resonates today.
