H of H Playbook is an explosion of thought, in drawings and
language, about a Greek tragedy called Herakles by the 5th-century
BC poet Euripides. In myth Herakles is an embodiment of manly
violence who returns home after years of making war on enemies and
monsters (his famous "Labors of Herakles") to find he cannot adapt
himself to a life of peacetime domesticity. He goes berserk and
murders his whole family. Suicide is his next idea. Amazingly, this
does not happen. Due to the intervention of his friend Theseus,
Herakles comes to believe he is not, after all, indelibly stained
by his own crimes, nor is his life without value. It remains for
the reader to judge this redemptive outcome. "I think there is no
such thing as an innocent landscape," said Anselm Kiefer, painter
of forests grown tall on bones.
