Bosrand 1892 - 1928

Johannes Löhr made this print, Bosrand, of delicate lines and subtle tones using an etching technique. It's like he's sketching directly onto the plate, making each tiny mark count. The whole thing feels textural, doesn't it? You can almost feel the rough bark of that central tree. It’s fascinating how he uses lines to create depth; some are dark and defined, while others fade into the background, giving this sense of a space that's both dense and airy. Look closely at the foliage on the right—see how the lines build up, layer upon layer? It reminds me of my own process, how I keep adding and subtracting until I find the right balance. That build up of marks really draws you in, like getting lost in a garden. Löhr’s print reminds me of some of Klimt's landscapes. Both have this incredible ability to capture the energy of nature with an almost abstract touch. It's a testament to how art can embrace ambiguity and still speak volumes.
