Hans Josephsohn - Hardcover

by Hans Josephsohn (Artist), Cornelius Tittel (Editor)

As if pulled from an ancient ruin, Josephsohn's eroded, "existential" sculptures underscore the fragility of mankind

In the time of physical and moral devastation following World War II, Hans Josephsohn (1920-2012) developed an existential sculptural language characterized by ambivalent, almost abstract figures. Ancient-looking in their appearance, they speak to the fragile relationship of mankind with the surrounding world.
