BRÜCKE: THE BIRTH OF EXPRESSIONISM
“Packs several galleries with saturated colors…an eyeful”
The New York Times
This exhibition, the first major museum show devoted to the Brücke artists ever held in the United States, will close on Monday, June 29. It includes over 100 paintings, sculptures, and works on paper by the visionary artists Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Erich Heckel, Hermann Max Pechstein, and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, whose revolutionary work, with its blazing color and striking emotional candor, forms the basis for German Expressionism.

meet the artist Liam Roberts

By -
Liam Roberts’ fertile imagination transmutes images into abstract-like compositions of strik- ing energy and brushwork. He says that he is not a maker of pictures, but a maker of paintings, and that the viewer completes the work, not simply by looking but by the labour of seeing. Shakespeare, as usual, says it best: “Let every eye negotiate for itself . . .” Roberts’ mediums are acrylic, gouache, collage and ink. This show comprises recent and earlier works. Liam has exhibited in New York, London, Paris, Palm Springs, Geneva and Nicosia. He is represented in Dublin by Peppercanister Gallery.   www.liamroberts.com  /  roberts l@copper.ne
