Expressionism
CURATED COLLECTIONDistorted form, jarring colour and raw emotional charge define the work gathered in this collection, drawn from the German movements of the early twentieth century and their forerunners. Groups such as Die Brucke and Der Blaue Reiter rejected naturalistic representation in favour of subjective feeling, building on the earlier example of Edvard Munch, whose painted and printed work anticipated many of their concerns. Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Wassily Kandinsky, before his move into fuller abstraction, both worked within this territory. Woodcuts and prints feature heavily, since the medium suited the movement's angular, unpolished visual language.
