Karl Schmidt-Rottluff
Printmaking
Karl Schmidt-Rottluff was a German Expressionist painter and printmaker whose bold, angular woodcuts and landscapes employed vivid, non-naturalistic color and emotionally charged brushwork. A founding member of Die Brücke in Dresden, he developed a distinctive approach to form that prioritized psychological intensity over representational accuracy.
