… hier geht es zum Tagebuch / Blog von ENDEGRA Dresden – 11. – 17. August 2013


Der Film zeigt einige beeindruckende Momente der Zusammenarbeit in den Druckwerkstätten und Ausschnitte der technischen Demonstrationen Lithografie-Vakuumverfahren und Tiefdruck-Viskositätsdruck. Das ist natürlich nur ein kleiner Ausschnitt von ENDEGRA-Dresden – nicht gezeigt werden Bilder von der Exkursion in die Sächsische Schweiz, der gemeinsamen Ausstellung in der Galerie EINHORN und den abendlichen Fach-Vorträgen. Sensibel und unbemerkt wurden die Szenen von Christine Elmer eingefangen. Die Auswahl beim Schnitt ist uns beiden auf Grund des umfangreichen Materials dann etwas schwer gefallen – hier sind 9 Minuten zu sehen – und ich habe den Bildern noch etwas Text beigefügt.

Dr. phil. Anke Fröhlich (Dresden): 

„Topography – Typography“ Art-landscape and place of landscape art – Dresden / Typography as a tool for intellectual and emotional knowledge / Printmaking-role since the 15th century in Saxony 

Monday 12th:  Lecture
Thursday 15th: Presentation of selected prints and discussion, Kupferstich-Kabinett

In the rich tradition of the saxon history the graphical arts plays a great rule. From the beginning of engravings and woodcuts since around 1500 graphical prints served as single-sheet woodcuts, flyers or book illustrations; especially because Saxony in that time was a main territory of the theological movements reformation and counter reformation. Lukas Cranach and his followers found very popular compositions into that disputes – and allways in closely contact with the printed word. So the printed artworks by that time enclosed the whole knowledge and the images about the world and god. Also in the following epochs like the enlightement in the 18th century Dresden was a center of fine arts including prints. Leipzig had a lot of printing houses and for them many artists made very tastfull illustrations for the book market. But in Dresden growes a school of gifted landscape painter who also made engravings and etchings. There is a very close relation between topographical artworks, the presentation of the natural area and thinking about world. Details of composition, figures and so on includes a special view on the world. This view is in Baroque very different to the age of sensitivity or Romantic, the highpoint of landscape painting in Saxony. It changed from a view over the whole world to the view on details and reflect the moved relation between individual and god. Famous artists like Dietricy, Adrian Zingg or Johann Christian Klengel and there followers found the environments of Dresden and the mountains “Sächsische Schweiz” as places an topics of a new kind of beauty. Caspar David Friedrich used the nature as symbol for the human soul. With a lot of impressive examples Dr. Anke Fröhlich will show the development of using woodcuts, engravings and etchings in the german art history especially in Saxony and considering the rich tradition of landscapes.

ENDEGRA DRESDEN 2013

European Network for Development and Education in Graphic Art

The ENDEGRA Dresden meeting will be august 11 – 17 – 2013

Topography – Typography

The next ENDEGRA meeting starts in the landscape of Middlegermany and Saxony with its vast traditions in art and culture, where printmaking has played a vital role since the 15th century. In the romantic era, that emanated in the 18th century, visual artists from the Dresden area started to paint the lovely, strange and always expressive and characteristic landscape along the river Elbe and in the Sächsische Schweiz. They depicted the outer landscape to use it as a metaphor for an inner landscape. Their art led to a widely spread appreciation of the landscape, as a physical place to visit and as pictures that told about our lived experiences.

Topography is a scientific tool to understand conditions and preconditions of an investigated terrain. As a metaphor we can use it to get a better understanding of our situation as artists and printmakers today. How would we describe the ”landscape” where we live and work as artists and printmakers? What maps do we need to draw to find our ways? What do we need to consider in the present artistic ”ecology”?

Typography, on the other hand, was always a tool to bring both intellectual and emotional knowledge. To print and to spread that knowledge we need freedom of expression and liberty of the press. We live in a society that wants to develop and deepen democracy. As printmakers, we have a responsibility: not just to save methods and tools as a cultural heritage, but to save preconditions for independent artistic language possibilities and expression. What are the preconditions of printmaking today? How can we understand, develop and defend our position as publishers of free press and independent and free art?

ENDEGRA – European network for development and education in printmaking – is a network between professional printshops and printmakers. It came about to meet a need to share advanced knowledge production within the field of printmaking. To clarify the value and the function of our labour and to bring about relevant acting spaces for development and education in printmaking.
