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..
