To mark the 75th birthday of the Dresden painter, graphic artist, draughtsman and printmaker Max Uhlig, the Kupferstich-Kabinett is showing a representative and retrospective exhibition of his prints held in its own collection, including a recent donation. The artist’s works are broad-ranging in terms of both motifs and techniques, and this exhibition focuses on Uhlig’s preferred printmaking techniques – etching and lithography – with landscapes and portraits as the key subjects. The exhibition combines observations of nature that are reminiscent of still-lifes – produced in his work retreats first in Mecklenburg and the Ore Mountains, and later in southern France – with prints which are based on sculptures. Portraits using densely woven lines and networks of strokes to depict both himself and his models reflect Uhlig’s intense work as a “draughtsman for prints”.
