Week of Germany held in Armenian regions
Gyumri will host an exhibit of Horst Janssen's works from April 20 to May 11 in the framework of Week of Germany held on the initiative of the German Embassy in Yerevan.
The exhibition will also open in Martuni and Kapan.
German drawer and graphic artist Horst Janssen was born outside marriage on November 14, 1929 in Hamburg. He spent his childhood in Oldenburg.
After his grandfather's death in 1939 and the death of his mother in 1941, Janssen was raised in the National Political Institute of Education in Haselünne in the Emsland.
Horst Janssen returned to Hamburg in 1945 and studied at the State School of Art from 1946 to 1951 under Alfred Mahlau.
Besides portraits in oil, Janssen made ceramic objects, but he most of all learned the art of lithographs in the factory's lithographic workshop.
