Expressionism began in Germany and northern Europe in the years before the First World War, above all in the groups Die Brucke in Dresden and Der Blaue Reiter in Munich. Its artists deliberately distorted form and pushed colour beyond description, treating the picture as a record of feeling rather than appearance: angular figures, harsh contrasts, raw woodcut lines. Printmaking mattered as much as painting, which is why so much Expressionist work survives as graphics. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Max Beckmann and Edvard Munch are the most represented artists in this part of the archive.
Expressionism Wall Art spans 577 public-domain artworks in the Archive Lane archive.
