Expressionism in Tyrol- 12.5.2023 - 10.9.2023
At the beginning of the 20th century, a style emerged in German-speaking countries that revolutionised the art world. Contrary to all the principles of lifelike representation that Impressionism still strived for, the emotional and intellectual inner life now guided artistic creation. The forms become coarser, the images more abstract and the perspectives are shifted off-centre.
In Tyrol, Expressionism has the effect of a liberating blow. As if out of nowhere, works appeared here whose artistic quality was in no way inferior to their German role models. With works by Ernst Nepo, Artur Nikodem, Gerhild Diesner, Walter Honeder, Hilde Goldschmidt, Josef Prantl, Egon Schiele, Oskar Kokoschka, Herbert Boeckl, Herbert Brandl and others, the Graphic Arts Collection is showing a selection of expressionist prints from its extensive holdings. The prints bear witness to the development of a stylistic epoch that marked the gateway to modern art in Tyrol and in some cases continues to resonate to the present day.
