Description:
1923: Faces of an Age
28 April 2023 to 24 Sep 2023 | Special exhibition
Exhibition poster | Dimensions: 59.5 x 84 cm
In 2023, the Hamburger Kunsthalle looks back one hundred years: for five months, the Galerie Klassische Moderne will focus on paintings, sculptures and works on paper created around 1923. They provide an insight into the art production, social currents and historical events in Germany and Hamburg of this year, which also saw the founding of the Freunde der Kunsthalle e.V. (Friends of the Kunsthalle).
To this day, 1923 is considered a fateful year. Serious crises shook the young Weimar Republic: German democracy was exposed to considerable tension due to the occupation of the Ruhr, hyperinflation, increasing impoverishment and attempted coups. At the same time, the twenties saw a broad production of art and culture as well as a great enthusiasm for sport. Theatre, cabaret, dance performances and concerts, cinema and literature flourished. The culture of the time was political, avant-garde and characterised by an impressive diversity in which Impressionism, Expressionism, New Objectivity, Surrealism and the applied art of the State Bauhaus met.
Around 60 works - including those by Alma del Banco, Robert Delaunay, Robert Desnos, Walter Dexel, Otto Dix, George Grosz, Walter Dexel, Wassily Kandinsky, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Max Beckmann, Käthe Kollwitz, Karl Kluth, Walter Gramatté, Rudolf Levy, Dorothea Maetzel-Johannsen, László Moholy-Nagy and Anita Rée - have been added to the existing collection tour. They highlight a dazzling time and give an impression of the artistic wealth of the often invoked "crisis year" 1923.
