This exhibition, a first version of which was shown at the Museum Lände, Kressbronn/Lake Constance, in summer 2021, offers an inspiring look at the different forms in which the human body can be represented and into various existential conditions of life. The works selected take up the theme of figurative art from different perspectives and illuminate the artists’ individual examinations of beauty, endangerment, transience, introspection and standardization of the human figure. The juxtaposition of these individual works of art leads to extraordinary discourses and the discovery of surprising relationships. The media spectrum of the presentation includes painting, drawing and sculpture, while combining exhibits from the collections of two museums. The compilation reflects both collections’ histories as well as an accentuated cross-section of various art movements within the South- and East-German cultural traditions from the 1920s on.
The exhibition focuses the formal and thematic similarities inherent in the approximately 100 works of art by the 22 artists shown here, even though they were created under different cultural and socio-political conditions and over a time span of almost 100 years.
