Poems by Catullus, 1981
A complete suite of eight signed lithographs, illustrating the Poems of Catullus, housed in a paper folder
Printed in an unnumbered edition of 85.
This set of lithographs were originally commissioned for a proposed Golden Cockerel edition of 'Poems of Catullus' in 1981 that was never published.
The Roman poet Catullus was viewed as a lyricist who poured forth his heart in verse and who led the 'Catullan revolution' by inventing the deeply felt poetry of personal lyric. Herman responds to this in his lithographs that meditate on some of his own abiding themes, of life, love and contemplation. Herman was an artist who studied deeply and was profoundly influenced by the work of other artists; here the lithographs show the influence of Matisse and Picasso.
