Senior lecturer David Gariff explores the vital role that German and Austrian expressionism played in the opening decades of the 20th century. During a period of volatile contradictions, there was fertile ground for the emergence of the new visual language of Max Beckmann, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka, Wassily Kandinsky, Franz Marc, Emil Nolde, and Egon Schiele. Presented in conjunction with the exhibition The Anxious Eye: German Expressionism and Its Legacy.
