Das Portrait

Horst Janssen was a draftsman and a graphic artist who used varied techniques, especially etching, though woodcuts, lithography and watercolours which all feature in this exhibition catalogue. Produced in conjunction with the Germanisches Nationalmuseum of Nuremburg, the book is principally concerned with portraits that show a piece of cultural history. They portray writers, composers, philosophers, artists and historical figures, encompassing people as diverse as Goya and Charles Laughton. ALso includes biographical notes to the portraits.
