The etching "Hasenkönig" (Hare King) combines two contrasting pictorial worlds on a single sheet: on the left, a finely worked, almost ghostly glowing hare's head appears against a dark ground; on the right, the delicate portrait of a young man with a feathered hat and ruff collar. From the juxtaposition of animal and human emerges a fairy-tale-like, poetic figure that gives the title its enigmatic charm. In a fine, sensitive line, Jonas Hafner unfolds a dreamlike, literary pictorial world. The painter and graphic artist Jonas Hafner, a student of Dieter Roth and Joseph Beuys, is known above all for his poetic printmaking. Recurring motifs from mythology, fable, and nature combine in it with an idiosyncratic, playful visual language.
