About the Item
"Fieldwork," an original woodcut on paper by Roger Herman, is a piece for the true collector. This spectacular woodcut cannot be properly communicated digitally – it is a far more impactful and meaningful experience in person. This work of art would definitely enhance most homes or professional settings, perfect for those who have an affinity for abstracts, Neo-Expressionism, modernist paintings, or postmodern art. This woodcut was printed by Hans-Fuss and published by the Graphic Arts Council at LACMA. Work is outfitted with custom, conservation frame.
Art historian Howard Singerman's words from the December 1982 ArtForum Magazine:
"...Herman's expressionistic style... with its roots in German Expressionism and the New York School, is previously painted. His mean colors, thick pigment, and quick strokes are not a direct record of emotion and activity, they are not painting outside language, but signs for that painting, for an emotion and an activity that are no longer available. The expressionist act is recast as romantic aspiration; in his inscription, Herman evokes painting's past and admits his need for its aura...
...Herman's distance even undermines the emblematic immediacy of his expressionism, which he uses to attain more distance still. Unlike the flattened, aggressive figures that push to, and threaten to push through, the surfaces of most new painting, Herman's figures are situated in middle ground and buried beneath the paint..."

About the Artist: Roger Herman, a German painter and ceramic artist, has become well known for the broad range of styles encompassed within his work across multiple mediums.
Roger Herman was born in Germany in 1947, where he began his studies at the Kunstakademie in Karlsruhe. In 1976, he was offered a fellowship from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), which took him across the world to San Francisco. It was here, in California, that his career began to flourish.
He started by creating paintings of phenomenal proportion, soon christened as the West Coast parallel of the 80s Neo-expressionist movement. It was highly referential work, drawing on his knowledge of art history, as well as his famed sense of humor. With loose, facile brushwork, his art is reminiscent of the figurative German painters who emerged in the 1970s—like Markus Lüpertz (who taught at the Kunstakademie), Rainer Fetting, Dieter Hacker, Georg Baselitz, and K. H. Hödicke.
His work gaining international renown, he was asked in the 80s to teach in the art department of UCLA. He accepted, and over the course of three decades transformed the department into one of the most in-demand in the United States. In this position, he contributed to the rise of several West Coast artists. According to Cyril Kuhn, ‘every painter in the last 30 years who has come out of Los Angeles owes a debt to him.’
It wasn’t until 1998, more than two decades as a painter, that Herman rethought the direction of his work. Taking lessons from one his students, he began to work in clay. While his medium may have changed, however, his painterly beginnings remain apparent in his approach, treating each pot as a blank canvas on which he layers careful brush strokes. Herman found freedom in the combination of painter’s technique and clay medium, a juxtaposition that became fundamental to his development.
Herman has shown widely in the United States and Europe. Solo exhibitions include George Lawson Gallery, San Francisco, Ace Contemporary Exhibitions, Los Angeles and New York, Larry Gagosian Gallery, Los Angeles, the Santa Monica Museum of Art, Museo del Arte Contemporana, Mexico City, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, among others.
Roger Herman currently resides in Los Angeles, where he continues his work.
