Published by HarbourWitch Press, a limited run book of Daniel Grenier prints,

‘Daniel Greiner was a German artist born in Pforzheim, Germany in 1872. Born into a religious family with many siblings, Greiner first studied philosophy and theology in Giessen, before taking up a position as a clergyman in Schotten. Always interested in art, after a conflict with the authorities in his parish, he decided to concentrate on a career as an artist.
He was accepted into the Paris Academy and trained as a sculptor in Berlin. At the age of 31 he became a member of the Darmstadt Kunsthalle artists’ colony. The artists lived and worked in a remarkable series of buildings, created in the Jugendstil (Youth Style) mode, which was the German counterpart of Art Nouveau, based in Mathildenhöhe. In 1906, he moved with his family to Jugenheim an der Bergstrasse, where he founded the “Werkstätte für Grabmalkunst Greiner und Guth” (workshop for gravestone art) and also his own publishing house for the publication of his graphic works.
The woodcuts and ink drawings displayed here are mostly dated 1914/15. It is not known if they were intended for publication, were a commission or were just a personal project. The witches he depicts are both playful and sinister but all very much in control of their existence. To quote a contemporary phrase, they are all, ‘living deliciously’.
We are delighted to be able to reproduce them here and bring his work to a wider public.’
