les sons of history (2007)
We follow Schlitz’s ‘sons’ of history in these tightly cut woodblocks. We follow their history making from the first image ‘every mothers son’. On we go with ‘swampman of the desert’, ‘explorers dream’ and ‘man on horizon’. All are searching and all are hopeful. Then comes ‘fear of an edge’ and ‘within the heart of another mans past’ and others on to ‘momento mori’. les sons of history reflects all the hope and angst of those who make and those who wish to make history. 28 x 50 cm. Bound by Fred Pohlmann. Published on the occasion of Lessons in History Vol. 1 exhibition by numero uno publications in an edition of 10 + 2 ap.
