Alongside artists such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, Richard Pousette-Dart (1916–1992) was one of the pioneers of Abstract Expressionism, an American avant-garde movement that radically changed the course of modern painting. Like many of his fellow painters, the artist was deeply interested in subjects such as myths, the archaic, and Indigenous spirituality. Many of his light-filled works evoke the idea of transcendental powers, often employing motifs that reflect the beauty of the firmament or the charged energy of luminous celestial bodies. The Museum Frieder Burda celebrates this important proponent of American painting with a comprehensive exhibition that includes numerous key works from American collections and brings together outstanding works from more than six decades—a unique opportunity for viewers to immerse themselves in the colorful and varied oeuvre of this artist.
An exhibition of the Museum Frieder Burda, Baden-Baden, in collaboration with The Richard Pousette-Dart Foundation, New York.
Max Liebermann (1847–1935) was instrumental in bringing the achievements of French Impressionism to the attention of German artists. Influenced by Claude Monet and his colleagues, young painters in cities such as Berlin and Munich turned to a new visual language that was characterized by dynamic brushstrokes and bright colors.
With over seventy works from the collections of over twenty-five museums and private collections, the exhibition at the Museum Frieder Burda gives an opulent overview of the development of German Impressionism, including key works by Max Liebermann, Max Slevogt, Lovis Corinth, and Fritz von Uhde. Among the many highlights is a selection of Liebermann’s depictions of his famous flower garden on the shore of Wannsee—vivid works that mark the culmination of his Impressionist painting.
The exhibition is in cooperation with the Museum Barberini in Potsdam.
