  • ‘German Expressionist PrintsAt The Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center
    August 26, 2008

    Unique stylistically and projecting a long-awaited visual beacon of revolution and individualism at the start of the Twentieth Century, German Expressionists broke new ground in the art world with their bold and poignant imagery. The Expressionist groups Der Blaue Reiter and Die Brucke and the postwar trend of Neue Sachlichkeit all laid the foundation for new social trends by fueling public passion. Although relatively short-lived, the Expressionist Movement is as equally respected today as it was a century ago. Celebrating the movement, the exhibition ⁉mpassioned Images: German Expressionist Prints†is on view through October 26 at the Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Organized by and consisting of works from the Syracuse University art collection, ⁉mpassioned Images†explores the visions of numerous artists who engaged their charged emotions via printmaking. The exhibition presents 50 woodcuts, lithographs and etchings by many of the seminal German artists of the early Twentieth Century.
