About the Item
Op.304 Cassiterite, Realgar Malachite, Diamond drypoint by Jakob Demus. This is a unique print before the edition. The stones were some of many collected by Demus, from which he made "portraits" endowing them a history aamd personality all their own.
In the 1986-1988 period Demus immersed himself in the depiction of flowers, and it was then that the most important works in this genre were created. The plants are shown against an unworked, white background in all these prints as if they were pages from a herbarium.
Demus's philosophy of life is most tellingly summarized in these prints. To him, the earth and all matter are a single animated unity with which he constantly seeks contact in his work. He perceives this dialogue as successful when there has been a true fusion between the artist and the reality he depicts. This almost animist worldview adds an extra dimension to Demus's already idiosyncratic work, which lifts it far above plain realism and gives it a place entirely its own in the history of art.
Jakob Demus (1959-) received his degree from the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna in 1984. His work was the subject of a major retrospective at the Rembrandt Huis Museum in 2005 and a catalogue raisonné has been published by the Hercules Segers Foundation.
Demus is the only contemporary graphic artists to specialize in using the diamond-drypoint technique. Like drypoint, this technique is used predominantly to add extra accents to etchings. The only other artist known to have created whole pictures by incising them in the copper plate with a sharp-Bed diamond is the German Lovis Corinth.
