A painter of the art of colour etching, his keenly observed studies of the world around him – whether in his birthplace, Germany, or in far-flung and ancient places in the Middle East, Far East and Australia – are rich in detail and often annotated in his own handwriting. He lets the etched line work on the spectator’s imagination – with poetic rewards for all who ponder.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSchmeisser came to Australia in 1978 as head of the Printmaking Department of the Canberra School of Art. As such, he encouraged the development of a generation of young artists. His own works are keenly collected – particularly in Australia, Germany and Japan. This is a heartwarming account of an artistic life well-lived from a variety of scholarly and critical perspectives. The design and colour reproduction are both spectacular.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Australian Galleries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47559510458598,"sku":"AG115532","price":70.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7592\/1126\/files\/115532_1.jpg?v=1776826522","url":"https:\/\/australiangalleries.com.au\/products\/jorg-schmeisser-bilder-der-reise-a-man-who-likes-to-draw","provider":"Australian Galleries","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
