Hans Josephsohn’s works are presented alongside works by Herbert Boeckl (1894–1966) in the joint exhibition Figural Archetypes at the Leopold Museum, Vienna. The exhibition highlights fundamental parallels in the two artists’ understanding of corporeality, materiality and the process of form-finding. While the two artists never met during their lifetimes, each remained committed to artistic expression through figuration, and in the work of both, the processes of creation remain visible.
