German Expressionism and the Sea
october 12, 2021 - September 23, 2022
The German Expressionist painters were different than those artists that came before them in that they not only painted the landscape but they included the human psyche. They were not so concerned with the detail of the landscape, but instead, they were interested in the spirit and the emotion of the image. This exhibition shows how these artists used water to tie these elements together. The exhibition features works by Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, Lyonel Feininger, Erich Heckel, Wassily Kandinsky, Ernst Kirchner, Gabriele Münter, Emil Nolde, and Max Pechstein.
