Explore rare and important British modernist works on paper recently acquired by The Met from the collection of Leslie and Johanna Garfield. These powerful works capture the optimism and anxiety of the turbulent and dynamic decades of early-twentieth-century Britain, when graphic artists sought to portray the vibrancy and innovation of contemporary life, as well as the destruction and trauma of modern warfare and industrial production.
Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Modern Times: British Prints, 1913–1939.
