Erich Heckel was a German painter, printmaker, and sculptor during the Expressionism period. He was born on July 31, 1883, in Döbeln, Germany, and died on January 27, 1970, in Radolfzell, West Germany. His paintings and woodcuts of landscape and nudes are well-known. He studied Die Brücke architecture in Germany and Dresden. In his early paintings, strong outlines and bright colors. Later his work that was created in Berlin was more focusing on formal pictorial composition and was more melancholy. He was also good at woodcuts. Sleeping Negress(1908) and Crouching Girl (1912) were all his popular woodcuts. I like the “Stralsund” as the shapes in the woodcut are really well and clear.
