The Anxious Eye: German Expressionism and Its Legacy presents insights into the work of these innovative, early 20th-century artists and their continuing impact a century later.
Among the early 20th-century artists represented in more than 100 prints, drawings, illustrated books, portfolios, and sculptures are Otto Dix, Käthe Kollwitz, Egon Schiele, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, and Emil Nolde.
Post-1950 and contemporary artists shown in the exhibition—Leonard Baskin, Nicole Eisenman, Orit Hofshi, Rashid Johnson, Matthias Mansen, and others—carry on the rich legacy of the German expressionists.
The exhibition is curated by Shelley Langdale, curator and head of modern prints and drawings, National Gallery of Art.
