Frank Reichmann

Frank Reichmann (1888-1937) was a German Expressionist artist known for his stark black-and-white prints. His work often explored themes of social injustice, using strong, angular lines and dramatic contrasts of light and shadow to convey intense emotion. His graphic style, exemplified in the lithograph "Grave and the Ghost", uses heavy lines to depict a sense of foreboding and despair. The image, likely inspired by biblical themes, presents a figure kneeling beneath watchful birds, evoking feelings of vulnerability and isolation. Reichmann's works are notable for their powerful social commentary and stark visual language, leaving a lasting impression on viewers.
