Jörg Schmeisser

Jörg Schmeisser (Schmeißer) was a German artist who became particularly famous as a graphic artist and engraver. He studied at the Hamburg Academy of Fine Arts, 1962-67, and Kyoto, 1969-72. While studying in Hamburg he studied etching with Paul Wunderlich.

In the 1960s and 1970s he also participated in excavations in Israel and Greece as a draughtsman and travelled to many countries. From 1978 to 1997 he worked at the Canberra School of Art, part of the Australian National University. Jörg Schmeisser was head of the engraving department there. 

In 1998 he travelled to Antarctica and stayed at the Australian research stations of Mawson and Davies. The etchings, drawings and paintings he created during this trip have been shown in numerous exhibitions in Australia, Japan, the USA and Germany. 

After teaching and working in Jerusalem, Hangzhou, Angkor, Ladakh and Princeton, Jörg Schmeisser took up a professorship at Kyoto City Art University.
