Barberini meets Potsdam Museum: Liebermann, Brockhusen and Impressionism in Germany

DOUBLE GUIDED TOUR: Two exhibitions in Potsdam this spring illuminate Impressionist art in Brandenburg, Berlin, and the German-speaking world. The Impressionist artist Theo von Brockhusen (1882–1919) painted vividly colorful panoramas of the Brandenburg lake landscape. The monographic exhibition dedicated to him, "Theo von Brockhusen. Colors in Light," at the Potsdam Museum also showcases works by Lovis Corinth, Käthe Kollwitz, Karl Hagemeister, and Max Liebermann, who established modern art in Berlin and Brandenburg. At the Museum Barberini, further artists, with Max Liebermann as a central figure, are highlighted, who significantly shaped the avant-garde in Germany. Visiting both exhibitions broadens the perspective on the period from the end of the 19th century to World War I.

Break 1-2 pm guided tour in the Liebermann exhibition, Valentina Plotnikova, research volunteer and assistant curator, Museum Barberini.
