Where it came from
This publication was released in 2015 to coincide with a special exhibition at the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum in Cologne, which placed the contemporary filmmaker Werner Herzog in dialogue with the 17th-century Dutch painter and etcher Hercules Segers. The volume explores the profound aesthetic and thematic affinities between the two, focusing specifically on how Segers' experimental, atmospheric landscapes and unconventional printing techniques resonate with Herzog's own cinematic preoccupations with the sublime, the desolate, and the mysteries of the natural world.
The book serves as a scholarly bridge between centuries, curated to highlight the artistic lineage that Herzog identifies in Segers' work. Through a series of essays and high-quality reproductions, the volume contextualizes Segers' reputation as an 'artist's artist' who defied the stylistic norms of the Dutch Golden Age. It was received by art historians and film critics alike as a unique interdisciplinary study, emphasizing the tactile, melancholy textures that define the vision of both creators.
