Rendezvous of dreams - surrealism and German romance
13.06.2025 - 12.10.2025 | Special exhibition | Exhibition poster Marion Adnams "A Candle of Understanding in Thine Heart"
100 years ago, the most famous artistic movement of the 20th century was created in Paris with surrealism. It was justified in a revaluation of all values as a result of the First World War and shaped the 20th century like no other current. One of the most important intellectors of surrealism consisted of German romanticism: the supernatural and irrational, dream and chance, community and the encounter with a changing nature were essential sources of inspiration for German romance, which international surrealism adopted a century later. From André Breton's first manifest from 1924, the fascinating closeness in questions, attitudes, motifs and image processes becomes clear.
Selected surrealistic masterpieces by Max Ernst, Meret Oppenheim, René Magritte, Salvador Dalí, Valentine Hugo, Toyen, André Masson, Paul Klee, etc. a. show that in addition to poets such as Novalis, Achim and Bettina von Arnim, Friedrich Hölderlin, Heinrich von Kleist and Karoline von Günderrode, the great romantic painters such as Caspar David Friedrich (1774–1840) and Philipp Otto Runge (1777–1810) also played an important role in the search for revolutionary art in the 20th century.
Surprisingly, more direct reversals arise to German romance, especially in resistance and exile during the Second World War. In a broader sense, comparable basic ideas for cosmos, nature, dream, the inner vision and community can be seen during the activities of surrealism from 1924 to 1966.
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the founding of surrealism, the cross -epochs invites you to approach the artistic, poetic, poetic and intellectual facet of surrealistic art against the background of German romance in order to recognize analogies and special features. It gathers over 180 icons of surrealism and over 60 nuclear works of German romance, which are presented with each other. According to the multidisciplinary approach of both movements, paintings, drawings, sculptures, literature, films, photographs and objects are shown.
The comparison of surrealism and German romance is designed in the heart of the Hamburg collection: After his first visit to the Kunsthalle, on the occasion of the acceptance of the Lichtwark Prize in 1964, the key work of German Romanticism (first socket) (1808) (first socket) (1965) seen here.
Top -class, sometimes never shown loans come from national and international private collections such as important museums from Mexico, the USA and all of Europe, such as Philadelphia Museum of Art; Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Museum of Art, Bloomington (USA); Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid; Tate, London; Musée Cantini, Marseille; Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris; Kunsthalle Praha; Art Museum Bern; Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, Vaduz; Städel Museum, Frankfurt; Museum Ludwig, Cologne; Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich and a. as well as many, sometimes still unknown European private collections.
