The Age of Expression

8 Feb - 25 March 2011, Strang Print Room

20th Century Northern European Prints from the Barber Institute

Come and see this exhibition of Northern European Prints, curated by staff from the UCL Strang Print Room.

The exhibition includes works by Max Beckmann, George Grosz, Käthe Kollwitz, Franz Marc, Emil Nolde, Egon Schiele and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff on loan from the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, University of Birmingham. Many of the artists featured in the exhibition were asssociated with German Expressionism. The works respond to the First World War and its aftermath using familiar print techniques such as woodcut and drypoint with an innovative simplicity and directness to evoke powerful emotional states.
