Printmaking was an art form adopted by many early 20th century artists. Until July 11, a few are featured in MOMA’s presentation of German Expressionism: The Graphic Impulse.
“The woodcut, with its coarse gouges and jagged lines, is known as the preeminent Expressionist medium, but the Expressionists also revolutionized the mediums of etching and lithography to alternately vibrant and stark effect. This exhibition, featuring approximately 250 works by some thirty artists, is drawn from MoMA’s outstanding holdings of German Expressionist prints, enhanced by selected drawings, paintings, and sculptures from the collection. “
