Homage to Durer 1972

Jozsef Domjan made this print called 'Homage to Durer'. And it really does feel like an act of respect. The light blues and yellows, sitting on top of a dark background, give it the feeling of a stained-glass window. It’s amazing to think of how Jozsef made it, layering colors, textures, and shapes to create this complex image. I'm thinking it might have been made with woodcut, maybe even linocut. It’s clear Domjan felt something akin to reverence for Durer, his predecessor in printmaking. Look at how he uses this layering, almost like a veil, to create depth and dimension. You can almost sense him thinking about how Durer might have approached similar challenges. He’s in a conversation with Durer! Painters and printmakers are constantly in dialogue, riffing off each other’s ideas across time. Each brushstroke or carved line is an echo of past conversations and a whisper of future ones. It's less about answering questions and more about embracing uncertainty, just like life itself.
