This study event accompanies the display of works on paper from the German and Austrian Expressionist era With Graphic Intent. Looking at fine examples from our collection, we will discover how the inherent material properties of prints and drawings inspired new forms of artistic expression.  Join display curators Emily Christensen and Niccola Shearman as they explore the connections between these innovations and the uneasy climate of idealism and anxiety we associate with early twentieth-century Germany and Austria.

Booking required; the event fee for on-campus attendance includes admission to the exhibition With Graphic Intent. 

Booking for online access remains open until the end of the exhibition (22 June 2025). The lecture recordings will be sent at noon on Tuesday 3 June, or once a week on Tuesdays for those booking after 11 March, and will be accessible for 10 days from delivery.
