Description:
CLASS SOCIETY. EVERYDAY LIFE IN THE EYES OF DUTCH MASTERS |
26 Nov 2021 - 27 Mar 2022 | special exhibition | exhibition catalogue | German edition

Dutch genre painting of the 17th century dared to do something new: it focused on everyday life. The elegant, atmospheric interiors of the Delft painters around Johannes Vermeer and Pieter de Hooch as well as the exaggerated, ironic depictions of the peasant milieu by Adriaen Brouwer and David Teniers the Younger were extremely popular. The motifs have lost none of their appeal for today's viewers. The exhibition catalogue shows this through a fascinating dialogue: The everyday scenes and social images of the most important Dutch masters of genre painting meet the photographs and video works of Lars Eidinger and the typefaces of Stefan Marx. This unique juxtaposition not only reveals historical differences, but also captivates with surprising similarities in themes and pictorial inventions.
