Jörg Schmeisser Etchings Exhibition ―Memories of Dreams― Part 1: Journey
15 September 2012 - 28 September 2012
Australia-based printmaker Jörg Schmeisser, who passed away in June this year, was well-known for his superior etching and printmaking skills. This exhibition looks back on his life in three stages, focusing on various themes using masterpieces chosen from among his many works.
Schmeisser’s artworks were the product of memories and experiences acquired through extensive travel and created in accordance with his unique world view. 15 masterpieces focusing on buildings and cities have been selected for the first stage of the exhibition. The works feature Beijing, New York, Siena, Venice, Kyoto (Kiyomizudera) and Nara (Todaiji).
Jörg Schmeisser was the Head of Printmaking at the Canberra School of Art (now the Australian National University School of Art) for over 20 years following his appointment in 1978. Based in Canberra, he maintained his prolific output, even after his retirement from the university. His artworks are now held in collections all over the world, including the Australian National Gallery, the British Museum and The Museum of Modern Art, New York.
