New York, 8 February 2013, Art Media Agency (AMA).
Until 22 April 2013, the Neue Gallery in New York presents an exhibition titled “German Expressionism 1900-1930: Masterpieces from the Neue Galerie Collection.”
The Neue Gallery exhibits important works from German Expressionism. Primitive art and Modernism are two poles of this dessenting movement in German art that was formed at the beginning of the 20th century and came to an end in 1930s with Nazism accession. The period during which Expressionist artists created charged their works with contradictory emotions.
The event in the Neue Gallery divided works in two sections: one that gathers works on paper, watercolours, wood engravings, issued from the collections of Paul Klee, Kandinsky, Kirchner; and another one devoted to portrait, pencil or ink sketches, including pieces by Dix, Grosz or Lovis Corinth.
Among the artists whose works will be on display we might mention Max Beckmann, Lovis Corinth, Otto Dix, George Grosz, Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner,
