Biographical / Historical
At the beginning of the twentieth century, Die Brucke expressionist movement began in Germany in 1905, about the same time as the rise of Fauvism in France. German expressionism, also known as Der Blaue Reiter, began in 1991. Then Neue Sacklichkeit or New Realism came immediately after the first World War. The Bauhaus movement came out of the 1920s and early 1930s. This exhibition sought to display German artists of all movements in German printmaking.
