We cordially invite you and your friends and families to Museum Sunday!

The very choice of wood as a grown material was a small revolution at the beginning of the 20th century. Exactly what earlier generations of artists had cut to size, polished smooth, or painted over appealed to the Brücke artists: grain, cracks, unevenness, even the irregularly grown form. All the randomness of nature was now incorporated into the design. It became an artistic program.

Drawing can be so simple, but it takes practice. In this workshop you will find new tension and movement for your line work in drawing: Just like a gym workout for your creative drawing muscles. The artist duo Meeting Lines (Marcos García Pérez and Carla Schliephack) will challenge you with varied exercises from your (visual) habits and help you to release your creative blocks.

The Nazi art policy’s caesura continues to have an impact on art historiography to this day. Ostracism, retraining, confiscation, and occupational bans, all the way to expulsion and deportation, erased the careers of large sections of the contemporary artistic community. The extent of the measures was often more severe for the female representatives of the avant-garde than for their male colleagues, who were often able to seamlessly continue their successes after the end of the Second World War. In order to successively reappraise the history of these unjustly forgotten female artists, a course was held in the winter semester of 2022/23 at the Art History Institute of Freie Universität Berlin in cooperation with the Brücke Museum, the research results of which are presented here in part.
