Paeffgen. In this profound work from 2002, the artist utilizes a bold, thick outline to redefine the silhouette of Friedrich Nietzsche, one of history’s most influential thinkers. The central portrait, bathed in cool nocturnal blues and set against a soft violet background, is dramatically overlooked by a singular, deep-blue crescent moon.
