Museum Frieder Burda, Baden-Baden:

Until today the colorful imagery of Impressionism fascinates like no other art movement. The new type of painting, which emerged in 1860s France, is characterized by vibrant, high-keyed colors and the deployment of energetic, sketch-like brushstrokes. With Max Liebermann (1847–1935) as its famous figurehead, the revolutionary movement soon became the leading avantgarde in the German Empire. In terms of motifs, its artists explored a wide range of themes – from sun-drenched landscapes and atmospheric figure paintings to carefully arranged still lifes. The exhibition is a cooperation with the Museum Barberini in Potsdam and brings together around 100 masterpieces of German Impressionism – in addition to key paintings by Max Liebermann also numerous works by colleagues such as Lovis Corinth, Lesser Ury, Philipp Franck, Dora Hitz, Gotthardt Kuehl, Sabine Lepsius, Eva Stort, Max Slevogt, and Fritz von Uhde.
