Printmaking

Conrad Felixmüller was a German Expressionist painter and printmaker known for stark figurative works and social commentary rendered in angular, distorted forms. Active from the 1920s onward, he employed woodcut, lithography, and oil painting to depict urban subjects, working-class life, and psychological intensity with a rawness characteristic of Weimar-era German Expressionism. His practice remained committed to figuration and emotional directness throughout a long career spanning the interwar period, Nazi occupation, and postwar Germany.
