2. Heinrich Campendonk, a German 'Expressionist' printmaker and painter, was born on November 03, 1889, at Krefeld, Germany. He completed his studies at Krefeld Kunstgewerbeschule, under the guidance of the famous Dutch artist, Johan-Thorn Prikker. Campendonk started his own studio in 1908, at Krefeld, and shared his work with August Macke, a German Expressionist painter.

This year, Macke showed Heinrich's work to the Russian artist, Wasily Kandinsky. Later in the year, Franz Marc, another German 'Expressionist' painter, invited Campendonk to Bavaria, Sindelsdorf, which the artist honored and settled in Bavaria. In 1911 only, he met an art dealer, Alfred Flechtheim. The same year, in Sindelsdorf, he joined the art group, 'Der Blauer Reiter' and stayed with it until 1912. Enjoying a good rapport with the group, Heinrich participated and displayed his artworks with the group at various exhibitions.

7. The Dream -1913 Campendonk usually portrayed the relationship between humans & beasts, and life's cycles as the key themes of his artworks. The paintings were mostly a confluence of geometrical figures and colors, both complementing each other in entirety. Macke, Kandinsky, and Marc highly influenced his artworks. Campendonk's works spectrum included watercolors, woodcuts, gouaches, and glass paintings. In 1913, the group and Campendonk exhibited their works together at 'Erster Deutscher Herbstsalon,' at the Der Strum Gallery, Berlin.

He achieved artistic recognition through his works on the windows of churches and public buildings, in the mid 1920s. Some of Heinrich's famous works of the period are "Landtag and Paulskirche," "Duesseldorf parliament building," In 1933, at the onset of the reign of Nazi government, the artist was one of the many 'Modernists,' prohibited from exhibiting and teaching. Disappointed, he moved to Oostende, Belgium for a short period.

19. Heinrich Campendonk was a German printmaker and stained glass artist. After World War One sources such as African art, Egyptian shadow play figures and Russian folk prints all provided sources of inspiration for his woodcuts. In this hand-coloured print the contrast of the almost luminous colours with the strong black outlines recalls Campendonk's interest in stained glass. 'Large Head with Spread Out Hand' 1921

24. Two Girls with Rooster 1917. Heinrich Campendonk created an idyllic, evocative world inspired by his inner experience and personal symbols. Campendonk's graphics stress the instinctive over the intellectual and the unconscious over the rational. Unlike so many of his avant-garde contemporaries, his work lacks any sense of engagement with current social and political problems. He often looked to nature and animals to compose a dreamlike, illogical world reminiscent of Marc Chagall. He often worked in a traditional style of the woodcut medium by juxtaposing tonal areas and creating a linear surface pattern.
