CANBERRA, AUSTRALIA.- The exhibition “Rough Cuts” opens today at the National Gallery of Australia, on view until June 2. This show features European Figurative Prints from Gauguin to Paladino. From the Gallery's collection of International Prints, Drawings and Illustrated Books, “Rough Cuts” will draw on works from two major periods of European Figurativism, the early period of 'German' Expressionism - 1895 to 1925, and the later neo-figurative period of the 70s and 80s. Featured artists from the earlier period will include Gauguin, Munch, Heckel, Kirchner, Nolde and Pechstein amongst others; while the later period will include works by German artists such as Immenforff, Penck, Baselitz and Polke; and the Italians Francesco Clemente, Sandro Chia, Mimmo Paladino, Mario Merz and Enzo Cucchi.
