"Among the most important holdings in the Department of Prints and Drawings at The Brooklyn Museum are the approximately three hundred German Expressionist prints, most of which were acquired between 1937 and1955 by the Department under the auspices of Una Johnson, a major figure in print collecting who was the curator during those years...These prints are part of one of the most compelling and influential movements of twentieth-century art. It was therefore a logical step to select this aspect of our extensive print collection for the subject of the first published catalogue of out prints. To accompany this publication, a representative group of eighty-three of the finest examples has been chosen for exhibition." -- from foreword by Robert T. Buck, director of The Brooklyn Museum.
