Josef Herman
Josef Herman was a Polish-British graphic artist, impressionist, and member of the Royal Academy of Arts. Herman's own style was bold and distinctive, with strong forms and minimal detail. He became famous for his depictions of miners, fishermen, and farmers, painting the modest, quiet beauty of the British working class in the postwar period. Herman also painted still life and nudes. His works are mostly in ink, watercolor, and pastel in dark, somber tones.
