Horst Janssen (1929–1995) was a German draftsman, graphic artist, and illustrator whose work is characterized by radical honesty and exceptional technical mastery. His works—from delicate pencil drawings to expressive etchings and experimental woodcuts—combine subtle observation with relentless self-examination.

Janssen played virtuously with line, light, and physicality; his portraits, still lifes, and landscapes appear both intimate and surreal. Recurring themes include transience, melancholy, irony, and the self, which he questioned in countless self-portraits.

With his unyielding work ethic, his experimental attitude, and his deeply personal expression, Horst Janssen is considered one of the most important German graphic artists of the 20th century.
