Masterpieces of Classical Modernism Feodora Hohenlohe
The Samuelis Baumgarte Galerie invites you on an impressive art-historical journey through time with the exhibition Masterpieces in Transition. An exciting dialog unfolds in two atmospherically designed exhibition rooms: On the one side are outstanding works of classical modernism - creations from an era of profound artistic upheaval. On the other side, a specially created, illusionistic studio space opens up, allowing visitors to experience Feodora Hohenlohe's creative universe - a world of quiet intensity that combines past and present.
The presentation is conceived as a dramaturgical arc: In two art-historically curated anterooms, a panorama of modernism unfolds, paving the way to the central staging - the imaginary studio of the artist Feodora Hohenlohe. This atmospherically dense core of the exhibition was conceived in collaboration with Theater Bielefeld and is based on the artist's original studio at Schloss Ippenburg. The gallery is transformed into a contemplative experience space in which art and staging merge into an atmospheric total work of art.
The exhibition presents works by artists who had a significant influence on 20th century art. Each position is a significant contribution to the diversity of modernism: Max Beckmann with his profound, symbolically charged compositions that reflect existential questions; Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, co-founder of the 鈥淏r眉cke鈥�, with his expressive power of color and nervous lines; Emil Nolde, whose watercolors unfold a mystical radiance; Gabriele M眉nter, central figure of the 鈥淏laue Reiter鈥�, with a sensitive language of color and form; K盲the Kollwitz, whose humanistic works reveal social dramas of unique urgency; Gerhard Richter, who draws the bow to the present with technical brilliance and stylistic diversity.
This tableau is complemented by important voices such as Max Ernst, Lyonel Feininger, Max Liebermann, August Macke and Christian Rohlfs - artists who shaped the spirit of modernism in their own individual ways. Lesser-known but significant positions are also honored anew: Lotte Laserstein, for example, whose psychologically profound portraits have recently been rediscovered, or Ren茅e Sintenis, famous for her sculptural depictions of animals and the iconic Berlin bear.
Other important representatives of the expressive movement - Hermann Max Pechstein, Otto M眉ller, Alexej von Jawlensky - represent a wealth of art history that impressively guides the visitor through the history of modernism and paves the way to the innermost room of the exhibition: the studio of Feodora Hohenlohe.
