After attending the University of Fine Arts in Hamburg, Jörg Schmeisser (1942–2012) studied in Kyoto and became deeply influenced by Japanese culture. He went on to travel extensively in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia. His body of work can be characterised by two currents: the highly detailed, superbly accurate line and the flowing, sensual line. These coexist in his many etchings, intersecting with each other amidst a plethora of astonishing colours and subjects. This catalogue for a retrospective of Schmeisser’s work in Japan is based on research conducted in 2015, as part of the overseas study programme of the Japan Association of Art Museums.
