Jobst von Harsdorf (1924-2018) was many things at once: artist, teacher and mentor, lithographer, draughtsman, painter and professor of applied graphics at the University of 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 traveling 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 makes visible how his artistic work still resonates today.
