Horst-Janssen-Museum Oldenburg

In the location's words:

The Horst Janssen Museum is dedicated to the fine arts on paper. It is named after the great North German draughtsman, etcher, woodcutter, poster artist, illustrator, author and graphic artist Horst Janssen. The museum offers an exciting encounter with the work and personality of this idiosyncratic artist.

The focus is on drawing as a universal means of human expression. In addition to the art of Horst Janssen, we and our guests are interested in the classical and contemporary trends in this genre. We also examine, for example, how digital tools can change drawing ("Move The Line", 2016 "), what drawing can be ( "Sound goes Image" exhibition of scores , 2017 "; Only drawing can do that, 2020 ") or what individual understanding artists have of it ("Museum für Zeichnung" by Monika Bartholomé, 2018 ";"Universal Turn" by Jorinde Voigt, 2019 ").
