EDITORS COMMENTS
Bärtiger Mann" or "Bearded Man," created by Wilhelm Morgner in 1912, is a captivating linocut print in black on beige wove paper from the 20th century. This artwork, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., showcases the artistic prowess of Morgner, a German expressionist known for his unique and unconventional approach to portraiture. The monochromatic, black-and-white composition of "Bärtiger Mann" immediately draws the viewer in, with the intricately textured beard of the subject taking center stage against the subtle beige background. The wild, untamed facial hair seems to defy the neat and orderly boundaries of the paper, adding an element of raw, untamed energy to the piece. Despite the simplicity of the composition, Morgner masterfully conveys a sense of depth and dimension through the use of contrasting textures and shading. The man's face is rendered with a sense of intensity and character, his eyes seemingly piercing through the paper and into the soul of the viewer. This powerful and evocative portrait is a testament to Morgner's innovative use of the linocut medium, as well as his ability to capture the essence of the human experience through the intricacies of facial hair. "Bärtiger Mann" is not only a significant work in the history of German expressionism but also a timeless piece that continues to captivate and inspire viewers today. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is proud to preserve and display this important work of art, which serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of the 20th century and the enduring power of the human spirit.
