Visual art at Haus Hesse

"(...) Pictures crowded the walls (...)" Hermann Hesse, 1931 Hermann and Mia Hesse greatly appreciated art at the beginning of the 20th century: the scene was undergoing radical change and several painters such as Karl Stirner, Max Bucherer, and Ernst Kreidolf were among their circle of friends. From 1922 onwards, the Zittau painter Walter Waentig lived in Hesse's former house. Works by him and other artists who spent time in this house or later painted on the Höri peninsula can now be seen here in the house. This soirée takes you on a journey in the footsteps of the painters over an aperitif. There are often exciting details and background information to discover about the origins and subjects of the works.
