“Involved With All Senses” The Graphic Works of Wols – Seen by Will Grohmann
Today, the photographer, painter and graphic artist Wols (1913-1951), whose biographic and artistic beginnings can be found in Dresden, counts among the most important representatives of post-war modernism. Already in 1959, Will Grohmann (1887-1968), one of the most influential German art critics of the 20th century, presented “The Graphic Works of Wols“ in the international art magazine Quadrum. Seen from a distance, but with a fascinating view, he approached this rather unknown part of Wols’ oeuvre.
