Josef Herzog

The artist Josef Herzog (1939–1998), from Central Switzerland, uses wildly burgeoning and expanding structures and formations in his drawings, which are executed in both a controlled and a vigorous way. Josef Herzog consistently examines the features of lines, leading them back to their essence in ever new variations. Immoderateness and fascination are close together in his work.
