Online exhibition

 
The German southwest played a significant role in the development of modernism. In addition to the pioneers of abstraction, especially from the Hölzel circle, figurative painters also took up a color-conscious visual language in the first half of the 20th century and even after 1945, which are the focus of the current exhibition at Galerie Schlichtenmaier. For a long time, many of these artists were considered a 'Lost Generation'. Inspired by Impressionism and some realist movements from France, a movement developed in this country that incorporated late Impressionist, expressive realist and realistic elements as well as a sometimes critical view of things and society. Many of the artists shown here were associated with the Stuttgart New Secession (Geyer, Henninger, Lehmann, and others). In addition, the show also presents weighty loners of a regional, but also - in the later reception - outwardly radiating painting (Bräckle) as well as protagonists of the all-German art history (Dix, Meidner).
