120 Years of Br眉cke. 120 Berliners. 120 Artworks
A major collection presentation celebrates the 120th anniversary of the Br眉cke artists鈥� group, the art of Expressionism and the 叠谤眉肠办别-惭耻蝉别耻尘.
On 7 June 1905, four young architecture students came together in Dresden to form the Br眉cke artists鈥� group: Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Erich Heckel and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff and Fritz Bleyl had no artistic training, but they confidently set out to revolutionise art together. The group of artists - who would later include Max Pechstein, Emil Nolde and Otto Mueller - called for innovative means of expression far removed from academic traditions and searched for new ways of working and living.
To celebrate the 120th anniversary of Br眉cke, the 叠谤眉肠办别-惭耻蝉别耻尘 has invited 120 Berliners to choose their favourite work from the museum鈥檚 collection. People from public life, culture, politics and society were included, as were people from the museum鈥檚 neighbourhood. The resulting selection is a colourful mix of the museum鈥檚 collection of around 5.000 works, which includes paintings, watercolours, drawings, prints, sculptures and arts and crafts. Public favourites such as Ernst Ludwig Kirchner鈥檚 Artistin and Erich Heckel鈥檚 early self-portrait can be seen alongside works that have never been shown before, such as the doorplate carved by Karl Schmidt-Rottluff.
The very different artworks in the exhibition are accompanied by a personal statement by the invited people. In this way, the 叠谤眉肠办别-惭耻蝉别耻尘 collection can be discovered through at least 120 perspectives. The public is also invited to participate in the exhibition: What is your favourite work in the 叠谤眉肠办别-惭耻蝉别耻尘?
