Festvortrag Wolfgang-Ratjen-Preis 2025 // Antony Griffiths: On Understanding&Misunderstanding Prints

Aus Anlass der Vergabe des Wolfgang-Ratjen-Preises 2025

Prints are unlike paintings and drawings in that they usually have texts – often a considerable amount of lettering. The relationship of these texts to the image they accompany is often problematic, and many prints have been misinterpreted and misunderstood. This lecture will discuss a number of specific cases, and explain the many factors which might lie behind the creation of misleading texts and images. The tendentious image and text is not a modern invention.
