Horst Janssen (1929-1995)

The German artist Horst Janssen completed his education from 1946 to 1952 at the National Art School in Hamburg under Alfred Mahlau. Then Janssen worked until 1956 for the colored paper factory owner Dessauer, in whose workshop he learned the technique of lithography. In 1957 he also learned etching under Paul Wunderlich. In the course of his very fertile creative period he received many awards and is considered one of the most important graphic designer and artist of the postwar period. (tm)
