Josephsohn – Stein des Anstosses

Jürg Hassler, Switzerland, 1977o

Touched by the uncompromising nature of his longtime friend and mentor Hans Josephson, Swiss cinematographer and director Jürg Hassler created this haunting and most personal portrait of the sculptor from the Baltic States in 1977, who created a large body of work in Zurich from the late 1940s on and became an international star in the last years of his life. Hassler shows how Josephsohn, as a political intellectual, wrestled with the contradiction between Western consumerism and socialist ideals, but as a sculptor did not want to be taken in and unwaveringly went his own way.

Das eindringliche und persönlichste Porträt des gebürtigen Balten und Bildhauers Hans Josephson, der in Zürich ab der Kriegszeit in stiller Arbeit ein grosses Werk schuf, für das er erst im vorgerückten Alter weltweite Beachtung fand. Josephson gibt im 1977 veröffentlichten Film, bei dem Hassler von der Kamera bis zum Schnitt praktisch alle Chargen innehatte, wunderbar grantig zum Besten, was er über sein Handwerk, die Kunst und die politischen Debatten seiner Zeit denkt. Und Hassler dankt seinem Ziehvater den grosszügigen Zugang mit liebvoller Arbeit an jedem Detail. Eine Wiederentdeckung.
