About
Why this artist matters now
Jankel Adler was a Polish-born draughtsman whose practice emerged from Expressionism in early twentieth-century Germany. Working primarily in drawing, he developed a distinctive approach to figuration that engaged modernist formal concerns while maintaining expressive intensity. His career spanned Weimar Germany, World War II, and his later years in Britain, where he continued working until 1949. His work has been held by MoMA.
