European Realities

Location

Focussing on painting, European Realities is dedicated to the diverse realist movements that were visible almost everywhere in Europe in the 1920s and 1930s. The exhibition tells of hunger and misery, of the modernisation of industry, reports on the economic boom and cultural prosperity, of technical progress, the big city and nightlife, emancipation and diversity. Never before has this period of art been discussed to such an extent. In addition to the well-known trends in Italy, France and Germany, the exhibition is also dedicated to artists in northern, central, southern, south-eastern and western European countries who impressively capture the zeitgeist of the 1920s and 1930s in their works.
