1.  Max Liebermann. Trailblazer of Modernism

    Fri, 30/09/11 — Sun, 19/02/12 / exhibition

    Max Liebermanns (1847-1935) is credited with introducing Modernism to German painting. For the first time, a new exhibition at the Hamburger Kunsthalle presents a comprehensive retrospective revealing how this process took place and the impressive oeuvre Liebermann was executing at the time. 
Disillusioned by German academia, the young Berliner turned to France and Holland where he immersed himself in the progressive trends of the day.

    This comprehensive retrospective unites over one hundred key paintings from all phases of his creative development. They range from rustic, rural subjects to depictions of bourgeois leisure activity to his unerring portraits and the late, color-drenched garden paintings. Complementing the Hamburger Kunsthalle’s large holdings are several other key pieces on loan from national and international museums, supplemented by work generously loaned from private collectors. The show is rounded off with examples of work by Liebermann’s influences Mihaly Munkácsy, Adolph Menzel, Paul Cezanne, Edgar Degas and Auguste Renoir.

    The exhibition was realized in cooperation with the Art and Exhibition Hall of the Federal Republic of Germany in Bonn.
