Isle of Lemnos 1968

Harry Hoehn made this print, Isle of Lemnos, with expressive black lines suggesting foliage and sunlight. Imagine him, back in '64, maybe feeling a bit restless, reaching for a plate and needle. He starts scratching away, intuitively, digging into the surface with quick, sharp movements, pulling marks out from the center with a restless energy. It’s not about perfect representation, but more about capturing the feeling of that place, the light and energy, the sense of something growing and alive. There’s a conversation happening, a dialogue across time. You can see echoes of Kandinsky in the abstraction, and a kinship with other artists grappling with gesture and form. But Hoehn brings his own voice, his own sensibility, making something entirely new. It's an approach to the world, a way of seeing, and feeling, and being. What does this place feel like to you?
