SUMMARY:Lady Lever Art Gallery: Lady Lever Art Gallery: German Revolution E
 xpressionist Prints
DESCRIPTION:German Revolution Expressionist Prints: 2 October 2020 – Feb
 ruary 2021\n\nOpening at the Lady Lever Art Gallery on 2 October\, German
  Revolution Expressionist Prints is a powerful exhibition portraying a ch
 aotic post-First World War Germany and featuring works from some of the 20
 th century’s most renowned artists including Picasso\, Kollwitz\, Munch
 \, Schiele and Beckmann.\n\nThis monumental group of works juxtaposes the 
 very different responses artists had to the turmoil of Germany’s revolut
 ion in the period 1900 to 1925. Some turned their backs on the physical de
 struction and looked inwards. Kokoschka\, Schiele\, Schmidt-Rottluff\, Nol
 de\, Pechstein\, Heckel\, Dix\, and Corinth all made prints exploring huma
 n stories as an antidote to the disaster of the war.\n\nOthers\, including
  Kollwitz\, with her raw and carefully observed works\, encapsulated the t
 error\, hunger and sheer misery that enveloped the city of Berlin\, which 
 had been the German world’s great international centre for the productio
 n and exhibition of art. Works by Munch\, Picasso and Goya are also includ
 ed in the exhibition to demonstrate the influence of other European artist
 s on those working in Germany at the time. The exhibition also looks at th
 e range of printmaking methods used by the artists\, including woodcut\, l
 ithography and etching. \n\nAnn Bukantas\, Head of Fine Art for National 
 Museums Liverpool\, said: “This exhibition looks deep into the heart of
  a very dark time in Germany’s history when artists were rejecting Frenc
 h Impressionism as superficial and bourgeois. They were witnessing terribl
 e suffering among the poor and vulnerable in their country and sought a wa
 y to represent this.\n\n“They created radical and diverse works – some
  were a bid to escape the turmoil of the German revolution while others we
 re a desperate cry for change. Even today\, these visceral images still po
 ssess a universal power to stir the emotions.”\n\nMust-see items include
  two works by Käthe Kollwitz\, La Carmagnole of 1901 and Helft Russland 
 (‘Help Russia’) of 1921\; In the Man’s Brain by Edvard Munch of 1897
 \; Max Beckmann’s Adam and Eve of 1917 and Pablo Picasso’s The Frugal 
 Meal of 1904.\n\nThe exhibition is organised by The Hunterian\, University
  of Glasgow.
