Where it came from
Published in 2016 by Hirmer, this monograph serves as a comprehensive survey of the work of twin brothers Gert and Uwe Tobias. Based in Cologne, the artists are celebrated for their distinctive approach to large-scale woodcuts, typewritten drawings, and mixed-media installations. The book captures a specific era in their career where they bridged traditional Transylvanian folk aesthetics with contemporary, surrealist narratives.
Edited by Michael Hering, the volume offers a critical examination of the brothers' meticulous artistic process. It explores how their collaborative practice merges labor-intensive woodblock carving with vibrant, often chaotic color palettes to challenge the boundaries of printmaking. Upon release, the monograph was well-received in art circles for providing the necessary academic context to understand their recurring motifs and the evolution of their idiosyncratic visual language.
