Plakat der I. Ausstellung Neuzeitlicher Deutscher Kunst. Kaiser-Wilhelm Museum, Krefeld (Poster of I. Modern German Art Exhibition. Kaiser Wilhelm Museum, Krefeld)

This striking woodcut poster by Erich Heckel exemplifies the raw, expressive language of German Expressionism, with bold, angular lines and dramatic contrasts characteristic of the artist's graphic style. Created to announce the first modern German art exhibition at the Kaiser Wilhelm Museum in Krefeld, the work demonstrates Heckel's mastery of the woodcut medium, achieving a richly printed impression that conveys both urgency and artistic authority. The smooth vellum paper enhances the depth and clarity of the composition, preserving the full margins and highlighting the powerful interplay of light and dark across the surface.
