“Meine jüdischen Augen” – Hermann Naumann | Signed Artist Edition with 13 Dramatic Etchings – Rare, Powerful & Unforgettable - One of the most emotionally intense and visually gripping post-war artistic projects: Meine jüdischen Augen (My Jewish Eyes), a graphic cycle by Hermann Naumann, one of Germany’s leading artists of the era, paired with heart-wrenching Yiddish poetry from Poland translated into German by Hubert Witt. This 1969 Hamburg edition is a limited bibliophile release. Of the 1,000 numbered copies, only 150 were hand-bound in faur leather and contain 13 full-page etchings personally hand-signed by Naumann. This copy – No. 136 – is one of that extremely rare and sought-after group. The etchings are deeply expressive, forming a visual lament for the Jewish people, interwoven with poetry of loss and memory, fire and rebirth. A masterpiece for collectors of Judaica, poetry, and fine art – raw, evocative, and haunting.
