Erich Wegner

Erich Wegner was a German artist. His work was heavily influenced by the expressionist movement, and he often depicted scenes of daily life in a bold and expressive style.

Wegner's paintings were characterized by their thick brushstrokes and vibrant colors, which conveyed a sense of energy and movement. He often painted urban scenes, such as street scenes and cityscapes, and also produced numerous portraits and still-life compositions.

During the Nazi regime in Germany, Wegner's work was deemed "degenerate" and he was forbidden to exhibit his art. Despite this, he continued to work in secret and later resumed exhibiting his work after the war.

Today, Wegner's work is held in collections around the world, including the National Gallery in Berlin and the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
