Andres Lutz: Schwarze Blätter

Full of symbolism, wit and whimsy, Lutz’s drawings distill everything from Neolithic petroglyphs to portraits of philosophers

There is more than meets the eye to Swiss artist Andres Lutz’s (born 1968) white line drawings on black paper. While the visual jokes are apparent, each is its own refined work of art, which can be freely divided into subgenres such as political cartoons, rebuses and portraits.
