Biographical / Historical
At the beginning of the twentieth century, the 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.
Galerie Ernst Arnold was an art gallery and publisher originally founded by the dealer Ernst Sigismund Arnold (1792-1840) in Dresden in 1818; after his death, it continued under his brothers, Friedrich Albert and Herrmann Arnold. In 1867, the business was taken over by Adolf Ludwig Gutbier (1841-1902) and Bernhard Carl Christian Gräf; the latter taking over the publishing side separately as 'Ernst Arnold Kunstverlag' from 1872. Prints bear oval blind-stamp 'Ernst Arnold' (not in Lugt) or oval blindstamp 'Verlag von Ernst Arnold in Dresden' (not in Lugt). The art gallery continued under Gutbier's son, Ludwig Wilhelm Gutbier (1873-1951) who specialized in exhibiting works by contemporary artists from 1893.
