Horst Antes: Presently regarded as one of Germany's most influential
artists, Horst Antes studied printmaking techniques under HAP Grieshaber
at the Akademie der Bildenden Kunste in Karlsruhe, from 1957 to 1959. His
first published works of original graphic art were created in 1962 and
since that date his lithographs and engravings have been exhibited throughout
the world. In 1965, Horst Antes began his teaching career at the Akademie, Karlsruhe.
He became a professor of art at this institution in 1967 and, apart from
accepting other teaching posts and commissions for his art, he remained
there until his retirement in 2000. |

Beginning around 1960, Horst Antes introduced a personal, unique
universe of constructed beings. These now famous forms were termed, “Kopffussler”,
because their heads and limbs almost eliminated their torsos. Horst Antes explained
that these strange forms owed their genesis to the Kachina dolls of the
American Pueblo Indians and to the psychological interpretations of Carl
Gustav Jung in regards to them. In any case these Kopffussler beings are
so remarkably intense that their surreal existence rings true. Antes remarks, “They
walk to the right and to the left. Even when they stand still, they usually
stand in profile. They are on the move, alone or in pairs. But to them
it may seem that they are standing still and it is the observer who is
moving past their single eye -- pair of eyes -- which stares fixedly out
from the picture.” * |
