The exhibition gave a rare overview of post-1945 woodcuts. These propaganda pieces, dramatic landscapes, and intense psychological portraits are renowned for their technical virtuosity and often poignant emotional content, but have been largely unknown to the American public.
More Images from the Exhibition The exhibition's other venues included Marquette University's Haggerty Museum of Art; the University of Pittsburgh's University Art Gallery, which has put the exhibition checklist online; the Spencer Museum of Art at the University of Kansas; and a collaborative double venue at the Daura Gallery of Lynchburg College and the Pannell Gallery of Sweet Briar College, which has put content from the exhibition catalog online. Patrick Dowdey, curator of the Mansfield Freeman Center for East Asian Studies, gave a gallery talk at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday 3 February 2000 at the DAC. A catalog by exhibition curator Chang Tsong-zung and associate curator Iris Wachs is still available for purchase. Wednesday 26 January - Friday 10 March 2000 Life as Circus: Max Beckmann's The FairMax Beckmann's highly expressive drawings and prints frequently reveal his pessimistic view about the nature of society in post-war Germany. This exhibition focused on Beckmann's compelling series of ten drypoints from the portfolio Der Jahrmarkt--translated as The Fair or The Carnival--which he made in 1921. In this fascinating cycle of prints, Beckmann conceives of life as a circus and portrays himself as manager of an ungainly kaleidoscope of sideshow characters.
