Lithograph in green, on handmade paper, with full margins, from the deluxe art edition - book not included // Heimkehr by Neo Rauch is a lithograph executed in green tones on handmade paper, part of a limited edition of 100 prints. The artwork juxtaposes two distinct scenes that reflect introspective themes. In the upper portion, a lone figure walks across a landscape featuring a traditional windmill, evoking a sense of nostalgia or contemplation. Below, another individual, kneeling and absorbed in a meditative activity beside a table adorned with vases and plants, suggests a ritualistic or reflective moment. Rauch’s meticulous use of green monochrome amplifies the artwork's serene, dreamlike quality, inviting viewers to explore the contrast between solitude and introspection within domestic and rural spaces.

What is Surrealism?
Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
