Biography
Horst Janssen is one of Germany’s best-known post-war artists. Born in 1929 in Hamburg in the midst of the war, Janssen saw death at an early age. Consequently, death became a constant presence in all his portraits. He also had a wonderful ability to capture the characteristic of a person in just a couple of glances and a few brush strokes. Janssen was a draughtsman, graphic artist and writer. He died in 1995.
