Janssen belongs to the most important German artists of the 20th century, and his works show clear influences from masters such as Albrecht Dürer and Francisco de Goya. Just as Dürer used copper engravings and Goya used his “Los Caprichos,” Janssen employed graphic printmaking to depict complex, often disturbing scenarios that delve deeply into the human psyche. A central theme in Janssen’s work is obsessive self-observation, bringing him close to Egon Schiele and Francis Bacon. Schiele, known for his merciless self-portraits, and Bacon, who often presented the human figure as a distorted and suffering being, shared with Janssen an interest in exploring the inner self. Janssen’s self-portraits, frequently realized in etchings or drawings, convey a similar intensity and openness and address the fragility and transience of human life in a deeply personal way. Janssen’s study of nature and his engagement with the natural world take place in a melancholic and often morbid context reminiscent of Odilon Redon. Redon, a Symbolist who explored the dark and mysterious sides of nature and the human psyche, influenced Janssen in his portrayal of the uncanny and abyssal that lurks behind the visible world. Janssen’s works, like Redon’s, reflect a fascination with what lies beyond the obvious, and show a deep engagement with nature as a symbol of human feelings and fears. Horst Janssen remains a unique artist who integrated influences from Dürer, Goya, Schiele, Bacon, and Redon into a powerful and personal visual language. His works are an intense exploration of human existence and show the inexhaustible possibilities of graphic art. Janssen’s oeuvre, characterized by technical mastery and deep substantive commitment, leaves a lasting legacy in art history that illuminates both the abysses and the beauty and transience of life.
