	Die Grosse Fahre (The Large Ferry) is an important example of Karl Sterrer's engraved art. Around 1910 Sterrer was one of the first Austrian artists to be intrigued by the beginnings of German Expressionism. Building upon the deep, dark lines of drypointing, Karl Sterrer began to cut his landscape compositions to their essentials. Above all, Die Grosse Fahre is a penetrating study of light, shade and form, foreshadowing the new directions adopted by the German Expressionists.
