German Revolution Expressionist Prints
This exhibition explores how the social, political, sexual and moral struggles taking place during the turbulent period of the German Revolution (1918-1919) moved artists to produce such powerful and dramatic imagery.
Featuring work by some of the most influential artists of the 20th century, including Picasso, Kollwitz, Munch, Schiele and Beckmann, this monumental group of radical and diverse works looks at the very different responses artists had to the anarchy and violence of civil war. Some were a bid to escape the turmoil of the revolution, while others were a desperate cry for change. Even today, these visceral images still possess a universal power to stir the emotions.
