  • German Expressionism: the Second Generation (Los Angeles: Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1988): 10-37
    Stephanie Barron, “Introduction” to Barron (ed.), German Expressionism: The Second Generation (Los Angeles: Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1988): 10-37. The notion that all the significant achievements of German Expressionism occurred before 1914 is a familiar one. Until recently most scholars and almost all exhibitions of German Expressionist work have drawn the line with the 1913 dissolution of Die Brücke (The Bridge) in Berlin or the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. Peter Selz’s pioneering study German Expressionist Painting, published in 1957, favored 1914 as a terminus as did Wolf-Dieter Dube’s Expressionism, which appeared in 1977. It is true that by 1914 personal differences had led the Brücke artists to dissolve their association, and Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) had disintegrated when Wassily Kandinsky returned from Munich to Russia and Franz Marc volunteered for war service. Other artists’ associations also broke up when their members were drafted. Thus, the outbreak of the war has provided a convenient endpoint for many historians, who see the postwar artistic activities of Ernst Barlach, Max Beckmann, Oskar Kokoschka, Kathe Kollwitz, and others as individual, not group responses and describe the 1920s as the period of developments at the Bauhaus in Weimar or of the growing popularity of Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity). The years 1915-25 have been lost, or certainly not adequately defined, as a coherent and potent, albeit brief, idealistic period in the evolution of German Expressionism. More recent scholarship, including Dube’s Expressionists and Expressionism (1983) and Donald E. Gordon’s Expressionism- Art and Idea (1987), sees the movement as surviving into the 1920s.

  • Ausstellungs-Rückblick 2009-2020
    Ausstellungs-Rückblick 2020 HEART – 100 artists. 1 mission. Die UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe zu Gast im Kunstmuseum Bonn 02. – 13.09.2020 Im September ist die UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe zu Gast im Kunstmuseum Bonn und präsentiert mit der Sonderausstellung HEART - 100 artists. 1 mission zwei Wochen lang Werke von 100 Künstler:innen, die der Kunstlotterie der UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe gestiftet wurden. Der Erlös von 25.000 Losen geht an das Flüchtlingshilfswerk der Vereinten Nationen (UNHCR). Peter Ruhenstroth-Bauer, Geschäftsführer der UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe, betont den Kern der Lotterie: "Über Genres und Grenzen hinweg zeigen 100 Künstler:innen gemeinsam mit der UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe, dass sich jeder Mensch engagieren, dass jeder Mensch gerade in Zeiten von Corona ein starkes Bekenntnis für Humanität und Weltoffenheit setzen kann. In einer Partnerschaft mit den drei renommierten Museen wollen wir dieses deutliche Zeichen auch in Ausstellungen setzen." Möglich wird die Lotterie und damit auch die Ausstellungen durch 100 Maler:innen, Fotograf:innen, Video- Installations- und Konzeptkünstler:nnen, die der UNO-Flüchtlingshilfe ihre Kunst – im DIN A5-Format – zur Verfügung gestellt haben. Martin Noël Paintprintpaint 12.03. – 13.09.2020 Martin Noël (1956 Berlin – 2010 Bonn) gehörte zu den prägenden Erneuerern der lange vernachlässigten Kunst des Linol- und Holzschnitts, die er mit unverwechselbaren Formfindungen bereicherte. Im Mittelpunkt des Werks steht das Verhältnis zwischen Linie und Fläche, das Noël in immer neuen dialektischen Bewegungen auslotet. Zu den Markenzeichen des Künstlers gehörte neben den großen Drucken auch die materielle Bearbeitung der verwendeten Hölzer, in die Noël seine Lineaturen so tief einkerbte und eingrub, dass die Arbeiten selbst immer auch eine plastische Dimension aufweisen.

Even up to that moment in 1917 when Ernst Ludwig Kirchner1 (the former group's leader) permanently left Germany to reside in Switzerland, he had only once been called an expressionist in his native land.

  • Degenerate Art 1 Degenerate Art
    Degenerate art 1 Degenerate art - Cover of the exhibition program: Degenerate Art exhibition, 1937. Note the word "Kunst", meaning art, in scare quotes - Cover of the exhibition program: Degenerate music exhibition, Düsseldorf, 1938 Degenerate art is the English translation of the German entartete Kunst, a term adopted by the Nazi regime in Germany to describe virtually all modern art. Such art was banned on the grounds that it was un-German or Jewish Bolshevist in nature, and those identified as degenerate artists were subjected to sanctions. These included being dismissed from teaching positions, being forbidden to exhibit or to sell their art, and in some cases being forbidden to produce art entirely. Degenerate Art was also the title of an exhibition, mounted by the Nazis in Munich in 1937, consisting of modernist artworks chaotically hung and accompanied by text labels deriding the art. Designed to inflame public opinion against modernism, the exhibition subsequently traveled to several other cities in Germany and Austria. While modern styles of art were prohibited, the Nazis promoted paintings and sculptures that were narrowly traditional in manner and that exalted the "blood and soil" values of racial purity, militarism, and obedience. Similarly, music was expected to be tonal and free of any jazz influences; films and plays were censored.[1] Reaction against modernism The early twentieth century was a period of wrenching changes in the arts. In the visual arts, such innovations as cubism, Dada and surrealism—following hot on the heels of symbolism, post-Impressionism and Fauvism—were not universally appreciated. The majority of people in Germany, as elsewhere, did not care for the new art which many resented as elitist, morally suspect, and too often incomprehensible.[2] Under the Weimar government of the 1920s, Germany emerged as a leading center of the avant-garde—the birthplace of Expressionism in painting and sculpture, of the atonal musical compositions of Arnold Schoenberg, and the jazz-influenced work of Paul Hindemith and Kurt Weill.
