Expressionist Wall Art

What's in the collection

Ernst Ludwig Kirchner supplies four of the six: a woodcut head hacked out in black, the portrait of Dr Bauer, a still life of a jug and bowl, and his poster for the Bern Kunsthalle. Edvard Munch's Attraction I puts two faces against a lithographic night, and August Macke's picnic on the beach brings the one blast of holiday colour in the group. For the generation that came just before, see post impressionist wall art; for what came after, modern art wall art.

One house style

Flat shapes and hard edges are the common thread, so these hold their own on a coloured or dark wall where a soft painting would disappear. Black frames suit the woodcuts; natural wood takes the edge off the brighter pieces. One large print carries more weight here than a cluster of small ones. Everything sits within fine art prints, and Kirchner has his own room in Ernst Ludwig Kirchner wall art.

Sizes, paper and framing

Every design is offered on archival matte paper in nine sizes from 8\" x 12\" to 30\" x 40\", plus A4-A1 for European frames, and on matte canvas either stretched on a wooden bar or set in a solid wood floating frame in white, black, espresso or natural. Printed with pigment-based archival inks, rated to resist fading for decades indoors.

Questions about expressionist wall art

Are the woodcuts printed as line or as photographs of the block?

They are reproduced from the printed sheets, so the ink bleed and the grain of the block both stay visible.

Which size suits a bold graphic print?

24\" x 36\" and up. The wall art size guide compares the larger formats side by side.
