WITH THE AMBITIOUS EXHIBITION ‘THE VITALITY OF COLOUR’, WORKS BY ONE OF GERMANY’S SIGNIFICANT MODERNIST ARTISTS ARE BEING SHOWN IN DENMARK FOR THE FIRST TIME. PRESS RELEASE HANS PURRMANN 27 APRIL - 15 SEPTEMBER 2019 Colourful landscapes, still lifes executed with heavy brush strokes, azure-coloured walls and the relations between light, hue and colour in paintings of interior, harmonious colour contrasts, decorative nude studies and portraits are some of the works you will experience in the exhibition The Vitality of Colour featuring the German artist Hans Purrmann. The exhibition will be on display in spring 2019 in Kunstforeningen GL STRAND. It is the first time that the recognised German painter is being featured at an exhibition of this scale in Denmark. The exhibition is a retrospective of Purrmann’s works, connecting them with a selection of the artists he collaborated with or was inspired by – artists such as Max Liebermann, Henri Matisse, Mathilde Vollmoeller, Oskar and Marg Moll, Emy Roeder as well as the writer Hermann Hesse, all of whom may also be experienced in the exhibition. The exhibition The Vitality of Colour will be on display at Kunstforeningen GL STRAND from 27 April to 15 September 2019. Beautiful Landscapes from a Divided Europe Today, Hans Purrmann is one of Germany’s most distinctive Colourist painters. As an artistic nomad and diplomat, he travelled and settled in various European countries throughout the 20th century – Germany, France, Italy and Switzerland – initially on his own initiative and forced by circumstances in a Europe full of upheavals and changes. In the early 20th century he was a central figure – together with his close colleague Henri Matisse – in the international art setting that Matisse created in Paris through his Académie Matisse. Purrmann served as head of the school for the few years that the Académie existed. Throughout his life, Purrmann continued to paint in a Colouristic Figurative expression with focus on colour and the decorative qualities of the painting. He explored the formal new breakthrough of Modernism, at the same time honouring the old masters. He developed his own unique style – a precise classification of which seems impossible – while persisting, despite war and external circumstances, in his search for beauty and perpetuity in the classical motifs: landscape, still life, interior and portrait. Like his mentor, Matisse, he envisioned art as an ‘escape from daily struggles’. Derided by the Nazi Regime In 1937, Purrmann was declared a ‘degenerate’ artist by the National Socialist regime. Two of his works were shown in Hitler’s travelling exhibition Entartete Kunst, after which 36 paintings and a large collection of graphics were removed from public museums in Germany. Unfortunately, most have never been found again. The exhibition The Vitality of Colour at Kunstforeningen GL STRAND also shows Purrmann’s presence at the first important documenta exhibition in Kassel. The exhibition gathered the European artists who had been criticised and persecuted by the Nazi regime. In the following years, the exhibition was among the most important in the quest for avant-garde and new aesthetic tendencies. The exhibition comes in continuation of Kunstforeningen GL STRAND’s engagement with Matisse and the period in question. Through the years, Kunstforeningen GL STRAND has presented several exhibitions with works by Matisse’s students which have taken the Nordic perspective as their starting point. These include the exhibitions Modern Women and Students of Matisse in the Nordic Countries in 2007 and 2008, respectively. ‘We want to introduce the Danish audience to an artist of great importance and with works of the highest quality, who – for various reasons – did not reach the same celebrity status as the greatest stars in art history’, says Helle Behrndt, Director of Kunstforeningen GL STRAND. PRESS RELEASE HANS PURRMANN 27 APRIL - 15 SEPTEMBER 2019 The exhibition The Vitality of Colour was created with generous support from the Foundation of Aage and Johanne Louis-Hansen, the Lizzie and Ejler Ruge Art Fund, the Knud Højgaard Foundation, the Arne V. Schleschs Foundation, the Augustinus Foundation, the Oticon Foundation and the Beckett Foundation.

The catalogue will be on sale in Kunstforeningen GL STRAND’s shop from 27 April 2019. The exhibition The Vitality of Colour can be experienced in Kunstforeningen GL STRAND from 27 April to 15 September 2019.

PRESS RELEASE HANS PURRMANN 27 APRIL - 15 SEPTEMBER 2019 ABOUT HANS PURRMANN: • Hans Marsilius Purrmann is born on 10 April 1880 in Speyer in Southern Germany, the son of master painter Georg Heinrich Purrmann and his wife Elisabeth Purrmann. • In the years 1897-1905, he studies at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich, from 1898 under Franz von Stuck, who is a well-known Symbolist painter and a member of the Munich Secession. • In fall 1905, Purrmann travels to Paris, where he once again meets Levy and Weisgerber as well as art critic Julius Meier-Graefe, art dealer Alfred Flechtheim and journalist and editor Theodor Heuss. Purrmann becomes one of the so-called ‘Dômiers’, named after their favourite bohemian meeting place, Café du Dôme on Montparnasse. Purrmann becomes part of the circle of acquaintances around the legendary art collectors, the Stein family, which leads to his friendship with Henri Matisse. • At Académie Matisse he meets his future wife, the painter Mathilde Vollmoeller (1876-1943), and Oskar and Marg Moll. • At the outbreak of World War One the couple reside in Beilstein. Due to a chronic muscle disease, Purrmann is exempted from military duty, unlike most of his German colleagues. • In the years 1922-1927 follow several stays in Italy (Rome, Sorrento, Ischia), and the country’s warm climate and light affect the couple’s works and scenes. • In 1935, Hans Purrmann is appointed director of Villa Romana. • In 1937, works by Purrmann described as ’Entartete Kunst’ are removed from German museums. Two paintings are exhibited in the exhibition by the same name. In Germany he is denoted a ’Französling’. • After the death of Mathilde Vollmoeller in 1943 and the German invasion that same year, Hans Purrmann escapes to the Italian part of Switzerland. • In 1955, Purrmann exhibits five paintings in the first documenta exhibition in Kassel organised by Arnold Bode and Werner Haftmann. • Purrmann dies in Basel on 17 April 1966 and is buried next to his wife. The exhibition has been realized with the support of Foundation of Aage og Johanne Louis-Hansen, the Lizzie & Ejler Ruge Art Fund, the Knud Højgaards Foundation, the Arne V. Schleschs Foundation, the Augustinus Foundation, the Oticon Foundation and the Beckett Foundation .

  • 1 Curt Glaser Report
    28.8.2019_JS 16.9.2019_transl Brailovsky Curt Glaser Report: III. Summary of the Historical Facts Curt Glaser (1879–1943) was born in Leipzig, the son of a Jewish family. In 1903 he began his studies of art history in Berlin and received his doctorate there in 1907. Most likely in 1903 as well, he married Elsa Kolker (1878-1932). Starting around 1910, with the support and in part at the behest of Glaser's father-in-law, Hugo Kolker, the couple began to build a significant art collection that encompassed, among others, the works of Edvard Munch, Vincent van Gogh, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso and Hans Purrmann. In 1902, Glaser began to be active as an art critic and became one of the most important critics and commentators in Berlin. Starting in 1909, Glaser worked at the Königliches Kupferstichkabinett, where by 1912 at the latest he was significantly expanding the collection of modern and contemporary art and promoting it through numerous exhibitions. During the course of his tenure at the Kupferstichkabinett, Glaser authored his most important scholarly publications: Zwei Jahrhunderte deutscher Malerei [Two Hundred Years of German Painting] (1916), Die Graphik der Neuzeit [Contemporary Graphics] (1922), and monographs on Lucas Cranach the Elder (1921) and Hans Holbein the Younger (1924). In October 1924, Glaser became the director of the Kunstbibliothek in Berlin. Among his chief tasks, in particular, was to redefine the Kunstbibliothek as an art historical research library. In July 1925, the Glasers moved into a civil service apartment unattached to the director's post, in which their art collection was also exhibited.

The present work is a study for the painting from 1898, "Schulgang in Laren", which Liebermann created in two versions, one slightly smaller and one slightly larger (presently hanging in the Hermitage in St. Petersburg). The girl portrayed here belongs to a group of determined school children on their way to class.
