Die Bettler (Nach Bruegel)

Signed original woodcut on laid paper.

Printed in a small edition of 300 for the German Expressionist portflio Ganymed. Published by R. Piper & Co., Marées-Gesellschaft, Munich.

The print is based on the original oil painting of the same title, painted in 1568 by Pieter Breughel the Elder.

German Expressionism was borne on a wave of resistance and reaction. At its core it was concerned with emotion and the individual experience.
