Horst Janssen (born November 14, 1929 in Wandsbek near Hamburg ; † August 31, 1995 in Hamburg) was a German draftsman , graphic artist , author , poster artist , illustrator and photographer . With his drawings , watercolors , gouaches , etchings , woodcuts and lithographs , Janssen is considered one of the most outstanding and productive draftsmen and graphic artists of the 20th century (“Nobody could draw like Janssen”, Die Zeit ). In 1968 he was awarded the graphics prize at the Venice Biennale. In 2000 the " Horst Janssen Museum " dedicated to him and his work was opened in Oldenburg.

Life

Childhood and youth

Horst Janssen grew up in Oldenburg, Lower Saxony, as the illegitimate son of his mother Martha Janßen, a dressmaker. He never met his father, Karl Gottlob Bauder, a Swabian traveling salesman. Horst Janssen lived with his mother with his grandparents, master tailors Johann Friedrich (called Fritz) and Anna Janssen, in a gabled house on Lerchenstrasse. His grandfather adopted him as a child. When the grandfather died of tuberculosis in 1939 , an official guardian was appointed. In September 1942 he became a student at the National Political Education Institute (Napola) in Haselünne in Emsland . There the drawing teacher Hans Wienhausen recognized Janssen's artistic talent and encouraged it. In January 1943 his mother died, also of tuberculosis. The following year he was adopted by Anna Janssen, his mother's younger sister. In 1945 Janssen moved to Hamburg to live with his adoptive mother. She financed his art studies. Under the nickname “Auntie”, he has repeatedly set a monument to her, linguistically and artistically.

Marriages and relationships

At the beginning of the 1950s Janssen had a relationship with the married Gabriele Gutsche geb. Swimmers . From this connection his first son emerged. Janssen was married to Marie Knauer from 1955 to 1959 . After the divorce, Janssen was married to Birgit Sandner (the former companion of the hated Prof. Gustav Hassenpflug) for a few weeks . Janssen's third and last marriage was with Verena von Bethmann-Hollweg in 1960 . The divorce took place in 1968. From 1968 to 1972 Janssen lived with Gesche Tietjens . The relationship with mathematician Roswitha Hartung at the end of 1972 remained an interlude. At the beginning of 1973 Janssen had a short, very passionate liaison with Bettina Sartorius . From 1974 to 1990 Janssen was in a relationship with Birgit Jacobsen , Viola Rackow , Kerstin Schlüter , Annette Kasper , Britta Kerinnes and finally Heidrun Bobeth . All of these relationships were reflected in a large number of different portraits and erotic depictions of the women in question, which, like other of his main topics, can be looked up in an overview of his works entitled Women portraits from 1988.

children

In 1950 the son Clemens Gutsche was born, in 1956 daughter Katrin, called "Lamme", from the marriage with Marie Knauer. In 1961 Verena von Bethmann-Hollweg gave birth to her son Philip. Gesche Tietjens had their son Adam in 1973. His children also encouraged him to do numerous graphic and graphic portraits.

Bad accident

Horst Janssen's grave in the Gertrudenfriedhof in Oldenburg (Oldenburg), 2016

1990 was an ominous year for Janssen: on May 19, he fell with the balcony of his house from a height of 3.40 m, together with the vessels in which he kept the acids he needed for his etchings. In addition to a cracked skull, a shin fracture and a double pelvic fracture, Janssen also suffered corneal burns on both sides, as D. Hallermann's accident report states. In Horst Janssen's Der Tome, this report is not only printed on the inside cover flap, Janssen also provides a clear and sensitive report in words and pictures about “the suffering and healing process in the following weeks and months” and “about the gradual reawakening of the physiological and artistic vision ”-“ an extraordinary compendium on art and medicine ”, as the doctor and art historian Axel Hinrich Murken notes.

death

Janssen died on August 31, 1995 in Hamburg as a result of a stroke and, as he had wished, was buried in the Gertrudenkirchhof in Oldenburg. The city of Oldenburg dedicated a large exhibition to him.

Artistic career

1946 to 1951

From 1946 Janssen studied at the Landeskunstschule in Hamburg, where he was a master student of Alfred Mahlau from the start and thanks to him received his first assignments. In 1947 the drawing with the title The Princess on the Pea was published in the Hamburg weekly newspaper Die Zeit . In 1948 Janssen published the Punch and Judy book Seid ihr Alle da? with verse by Rolf Italiaander . In 1950 his son Clemens Gutsche was born. At this time Janssen experimented with monotypes and woodcuts . The formal model was, among others, the Norwegian symbolist Edvard Munch and the drawings by Paul Klee . In terms of subject matter, the subject of man and woman dominated alongside depictions of animals. 1951 Janssen was disliked by the Director Prof. Gustav Hassenpflug who partout him by the state art school without academic degree relegated .

1952 to 1965

In 1952 Janssen received the Hamburg Lichtwark scholarship . In the years from 1952 to 1956, Janssen kept himself afloat by fulfilling the orders of the Aschaffenburg colored paper manufacturer Guido Dessauer , which he received through the mediation of his teacher Alfred Mahlau : mostly more conventional and representative portraits of the Dessauers, in oil, based on Max Beckmann and on Modigliani. The first works on paper were created. Janssen learned the technique of lithography in the workshop of the colored paper factory . Janssen has been established as a versatile graphic designer in Hamburg since the mid-1950s at the latest and has even received jobs outside of his familiar fields of work. He designed the Helle Hour carpet for the Reemtsma family . The large-format color woodcuts that were created during this creative phase made him known far beyond Hamburg. Their sales enabled him and his first wife Marie Knauer and their daughter "Lamme" to make a living for the first time. He learned the technique of etching from Paul Wunderlich and later praised him appreciatively: "Paul introduced me to the alchemy and physics of etching." A graphic (printing) technique which Janssen soon mastered and in which he used a large part of his extensive Complete work , which includes a total of about 4000 sheets and 47 erasing cycles. Although Janssen was represented in group exhibitions such as Younger Hamburg Painters (1956) in the Kunstverein Hamburg, colored graphics in the Kestner Society in Hanover and at the ars viva in Lübeck (both 1957), and in the same year a scholarship from the Kulturkreis in the BDI (Federal Association der Deutschen Industrie), a solo exhibition of his in Hamburg was a long way off: it would have been his turn in two years at the earliest.

National recognition

But Janssen did not put his hands on his lap, but arranged the exhibition he longed for on his own, in the stairwell of his house in Warburgstrasse 33b in Hamburg. From January 18, 1957, he showed 25 of his color woodcuts there for a month. The exhibition was a huge success, almost all of the sheets sold and Janssen had to reprint by hand. Four more such staircase exhibitions followed by 1965, so that more and more collectors became aware of him. In the 1960s, his work received attention that went far beyond the regional framework of his hometown. In 1964 he received the Darmstadt City Art Prize . As those interested in art can take a look at and see for themselves, the "great outsider of German art of our century (to date) had found his unmistakable profile in drawing and etching." In 1965 the first major exhibition of his hand drawings, woodcuts , lithographs and etchings took place held in the Kestner Society in Hanover. The exhibition then went to Hamburg, Darmstadt, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart, Munich and Basel.

International recognition

Especially through participation in the XXXIV Venice Biennale (1968) and Documenta 6 in Kassel (1977), the impact of Janssen's work received international expansion. It was exhibited with great response in London (1970), Zurich, Oslo, Gothenburg (both 1971), New York (1974), Turin (1975), Cambridge, Barcelona, ​​Lugano (both 1976), and then with great success in Chicago (1980), Tokyo (1982), Novosibirsk (1985), in the Rembrandt House in Amsterdam (2008). Two major traveling exhibitions, one through the United States (1983–1985) and the other through Japan (1991), consolidated his international recognition and anchored him and much of his work on these two continents.

Important cooperation partners

The fact that Janssen first became the German draftsman and graphic artist and then became a globally recognized “phenomenon of the century” (Professor Wilhelm Hornbostel, Director of the Museum of Art and Crafts) is of course primarily due to his great genius and his incredible productivity. His fame and his standing are also based on the two fields of action that he - together with the respective partners - always knew how to use skillfully: exhibition practice and publication practice . In a letter to the writer Joachim Fest , Janssen wrote something that could in principle apply to all the many productive partnerships he entered into at different times and which, as is well known, did not always have it easy with him: “People with two different people Centers that are related to the same force field ”, whereby the“ force field ”meant Janssen's art alone.

Professor Alfred Mahlau

In Alfred Mahlau, his professor at the art school at Lerchenfeld in Hamburg, Janssen had a teacher who instructed him and his fellow students to capture their environment - the “around” (Janssen) - as precisely as possible in terms of shape and color and “that To direct attention to the simplest and inconspicuous things and to trace their wealth of forms "observing and drawing -" a clear and distracted look, so to speak an unbroken look, "as Janssen aptly put it as his" very own art historical commentator " : “At Mahlau I had to draw a cauliflower. Initially uncomfortable, I slowly found pleasure in the muddle that was emerging on the paper. It turned out to be a good cauliflower, and the drawing received great praise from the master. ”He was proud to have been“ his master student ”:“ You see - I had the rare and extraordinary luck of having one of the last great draftsmen as a teacher ) to have: Alfred Mahlau. "

Gallery owner Hans Brockstedt

An early spread of his art benefited from the fact that Janssen, through the mediation of the painter Heinz Trökes , made the acquaintance of the gallery owner Hans Brockstedt at the end of the 1950s , who ran the “Gallery for Modern Art” in Hanover on Georgsplatz. It was immediately agreed. From May 17, 1957, Brockstedt showed 30 of Janssen's woodblock prints. With complete success - on the opening evening alone, 24 prints went away, 40 to 60 marks each, all sheets that around three decades later were already trading for 20,000 to 30,000 marks. In 1959 the Brockstedt gallery moved to Warburgstrasse in Hamburg, in the direct vicinity of Janssen. For Brockstedt, who stood up for him enormously and initiated numerous exhibitions and book projects, Janssen was probably the most important meeting of his life. But even Janssen, despite a number of disputes, separations and renewed relationships, was very fond of him: “When I die, I will whisper 5 names. One is yours. "

Hartmut Frielinghaus

The question of who he meant by the other four names has remained Janssen's secret. However, it can be strongly assumed that Hartmut Frielinghaus is one of them. Because the highly productive cooperation between Janssen and Frielinghaus went so far that “only Frielinghaus could print in the sense of Janssen”, as Gerhard Schack rightly emphasized. It was also he who brought the artist together with the copperplate printer in 1975.

printer

Janssen categorically said about him in the tone of the highest praise: “If the art of the Frielinghaus didn't exist, the Janssen etcher wouldn't exist.” Although he saw his work in the field of etching as “congenial”, he used and misused it also whenever he thought it necessary, as a "silent shadow and always on duty original reproducer" and yet he 'pissed' him whenever it occurred to him because of his unpredictable temperament. Because "as delicate as the guy was able to draw, he could get so tough."

factotum

In addition to the parade role of being Janssen's most valued copperplate printer, Frielinghaus also acted as a representative, taking care of the printing and distribution of the hundreds of posters designed by Janssen, procuring rare Japanese papers, exploring new exhibition options, supervising the delivery and hanging of the Exhibits, and on top of that, he simply did the shopping for him.

As an archivist, collector, documentarist

Nevertheless, despite occasional murder fantasies ("Strangling would be nice!"), Frielinghaus remained loyal to him, not least because of financial considerations and the privileged role of the beneficiary collector. In any case, the intensive cooperation between the two - despite all the quarrels - resulted in the list of all Janssen etchings left by Frielinghaus, compiled in volumes, published by Dornbusch and distributed by Verlag St. Gertrude :

Gallery owner and publisher Dierk Lemcke

Logo of the gallery and publishing house St. Gertrude, designed by Horst Janssen

Since the beginning of the 1980s Janssen was represented by the gallery and publishing house St. Gertrude . The basis for this was the partnership concluded in 1981 between Horst Janssen and the antiquarian and gallery owner Dierk Lemcke, who is based at Gertrudenkirchhof in downtown Hamburg and who later founded and owned the St. Gertrude publishing house in Hamburg-Altona, Goldbachstrasse. 9. A partnership that came about like this: With the artist's permission, but still without knowing each other, Lemcke, known as Lemmy, had brought out and sold posters and etchings as well as postcards with motifs from Janssen's work Well-printed and aesthetically pleasing appearance convinced. It was agreed to continue working together, and so Lemcke was the first to publish a new edition from Janssenhof with a new cover specially designed by the artist for this purpose. Building on this, the whole thing developed into a novelty in art history: Lemcke thus became a publisher who concentrated solely on this one artist and from then on remained closely and forever linked to his work. And so much so that in the course of the 1980s, as Joachim Fest wrote, the St. Gertrude publishing house developed into the so-called “Janssen Factory”. Janssen's judgment on the partner who became a friend: "Loving and extremely efficient".

Art historical classification

In the 1950s, Horst Janssen, along with Reinhard Drenkhahn , Hans Platschek , KRH Sonderborg and Paul Wunderlich, was one of Hamburg's outstanding artistic personalities. While Platschek and above all Sonderborg followed the abstraction of Tachism or Informel that prevailed in the post-war decades, Drenkhahn, Janssen and Wunderlich remained strictly figurative. Until the end of his career, Janssen took on an aesthetic stance which, beyond all ideologies and "-isms", he pointed to the following aphorism : "Tree view instead of world view."

Francisco de Goya: Folly of Fear , aquatint etching, 22 × 32 cm
Edvard Munch: Melancholie (1892), oil on canvas, 64 × 96 cm, The National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design, Oslo
Paul Klee : Two men, assuming each other in a higher position, meet (1903), etching, Zentrum Paul Klee , Bern

Janssen productively appropriated and stubbornly developed stylistic elements for his image conception from Dürer to Goya to Munch , Ensor , the early Klee (and many others). Although the concept of fantastic realism or the fantastic , which is often attributed to him, also denotes what is crazy , of which there are more than enough bizarre examples in Janssen's pictorial world, this assignment does not do him justice. With him there are no just made-up "picture subjects from mythical themes, cosmic dreams, Old Testament fables and apocalyptic visions", as can be found programmatically in the main representatives of the Vienna School of Fantastic Realism , at most Janssen plays with motifs such as For example, the classic subject Leda and the Swan from 1979, which is so popular in art history , where - unlike its predecessors - he consciously and provocatively captures the delicate moment when the animal's beak and the female gender are about to find each other. The already at Dürer incipient tendency drawings not only as a sketch to use for work in another medium or a memory aid, spontaneous ideas, but to be regarded as completely autonomous artistic expression is driven at Janssen to the extreme, as otherwise only, even if only approximately, with contemporary David Hockney . Whether pencil or colored pencil (so-called dry drawing materials), ink, ink, watercolor (so-called liquid drawing materials) with pen or brush - Janssen was happy with any medium when it came to capturing an instant observation in as finely structured a manner as possible. His very first glance, however, was on the paper: " Mine is the paper", he emphasized and already made the choice of the respective format with regard to the motif to be drawn: portrait format - landscape - square - narrow elegant - wide sedate - indolent - DIN- formatted - paper or sheet-sized. Until immediately afterwards came with him considerations of such into play, such as "Is the pressure of the pen or tongue so easily that the picture in the paper disappears?" And although one but given an executed freehand drawing by hand drawing speak, raised Janssen point out that the hand is "of secondary importance" - the eye has absolute priority. According to Janssen, it should dominate the mind and intellect and be in "permanent practice". If one counts everything that Janssen has ever made, since Janssen has drawn everywhere and given many of the drawings for free on the spot, the actual quantity is likely to be well above what has been estimated so far: "over" 30,000 Faces - his own as well as the other - whether landscape, still life, dog or cat, whether flower arrangement - he “appropriates (e) everything by seeing, but he (e) does not identify with what he sees, he identifies (e ) the seen with him “- with himself, as Heinz Spielmann characterized it. Similar to Courbet in this respect , Janssen's main concern was to draw on the knowledge of artistic tradition and his own individuality to create a living art, in "a style of representation that is unique to him, identifiable as 'typical Janssen' at any time and anywhere." if he knew how to integrate a number of results of experimental art into his representational-figurative work, he was rightly classified as a “link between classical modern and contemporary art”.

Janssen's works in book form

Janssen is present both as a visual artist and as a poet in a steadily growing number of books about him or by him, the smaller part of which has been published by various publishers, the main part of which - around 200 publications - has been published by the St. Gertrude publishing house. In order to achieve the necessary mutual give and take, it was an advantage that Janssen had his studio on the first floor of the publishing house for several years. During this time, numerous graphic editions were published.

Visual works

The “highest efficiency” that Janssen gave to his partner and friend Lemcke is not only expressed in the enormous exhibition activities, but also in the astonishingly extensive editing practice. The basis of the approximately 200 publications are the 8 bibliophile and printed in the very best quality, up to 480-page illustrated books of the series Die Werkübersichten , which offer such a deep insight into "Janssen's bundled life's work" as only a few important artists do in this one Form has been given:

Literary works

According to Horst Janssen's own admission, books were “my everything…, my museum, my biography -… the fanfare that goes out into the world.” Without radically crossing the boundaries of the book as an object, each individual publication by Janssen Künstlerbuch is “ Original work by the hand of an artist “in the true sense of the word. Janssen expressly describes z. B. in the greeting address of his booklet How to hang Janssen : "This booklet is not a catalog" - and jokes ambiguously that it is "just a guide to hanging Janssen '". Even with purely literary or poetic works, Janssen insisted on adding his own drawings, vignettes, etc., as many of the publications listed below show:

Janssen Cabinet

In 1997, two years after Janssen's death, the Janssen-Kabinett was opened in the new building of the Hamburger Kunsthalle with an exhibition of sheets and drawings from Gerhard Schack's collection , which has been on permanent loan to the Kunsthalle since February 7th of that year. In the same year, the Hamburger Kunsthalle acquired the entire estate of Hartmut Frielinghaus with the support of private donors and the Kulturstiftung der Länder . In 2007, Gerhard Schack finally bequeathed his entire Janssen collection to the Kunsthalle.

Horst Janssen Museum Oldenburg

In November 2000 Janssen got its own museum - the Horst Janssen Museum in Oldenburg was opened. The approximately 1,800 sheets of the Janssen collection of the couple Carin and Carl Vogel form the basis of regularly changing exhibitions.

On the occasion of Horst Janssen's 80th birthday in 2009, the Horst Janssen Museum Oldenburg presented the first comprehensive retrospective since the artist's death with around 300 works from August 30, 2009 to November 15, 2009 .

At the end of August 2016, Stefan Blessin, who had been a conversation partner, collector and friend of the Hamburg artist Horst Janssen for many years, sold his probably largest private collection of Horst Janssen’s works of art, consisting of 315 watercolors, prints and drawings, for 1.2 million euros to the Horst Janssen Museum in Oldenburg .

Goßlerhaus

At the end of 2007, Angelika Gerlach (Freundeskreis Janssen Library in the Goßlerhaus eV) and Janssen's daughter Lamme Janssen began setting up the Horst Janssen Library in the Goßlerhaus in Hamburg-Blankenese. The use of the library, which opened on March 9, 2008, focuses on readings and exhibitions on Janssen's literary work.
