More than three million people visit the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in an average year at its location on West 53rd Street in Midtown Manhattan. For those who can't make the trip, however, the esteemed museum's website is an excellent resource and its exhibit of German Expressionism is one of its most comprehensive online offerings. Here readers may view nearly 4,000 German Expressionist works online, including prints, drawings, paintings, sculptures, illustrated books, and periodicals. Readers may like to browse separate sections on Styles, Themes, and Techniques before moving on to the rest of the site, where they may explore categories dedicated to Artists, Print Publishers, Illustrated Books, and Portfolios, among others. The Artists tab, in particular, with more than two dozen artists who shaped the German Expressionist movements in the early 20th century, will pay intellectual dividends for readers looking for an introduction to this important movement.
