In Tote Eule, Grass renders the fallen owl not merely as a still-life but as a potent emblem of mortality and cultural decay.

Geschah vor Angst!

Günter Grass, born in 1927 in the Free City of Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland), was a pivotal figure in German literature. His most famous work, The Tin Drum (1959), exemplifies European magic realism, exploring Germany's complex 20th-century history. Awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1999, Grass was celebrated for his literary depth and political engagement.
This lithograph is a compelling example of his artistic output. Grass, known for his literary and visual artistry, often explored themes of societal critique and organic forms.


Grass’s lithographic work evokes comparisons to artists such as Hans Bellmer, Louise Bourgeois, James Sidney Ensor, Otto Dix, George Grosz, Max Beckmann, Bruno Schulz, Francisco Goya, Honoré Daumier, Käthe Kollwitz, Edvard Munch, Alfred Kubin, Egon Schiele, , Fernand Léger,Hans Holbein the Younger, Horst Janssen, Ernst Barlach, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Emil Nolde, John Heartfield, Francis Bacon, Zdzisław Beksiński.
