Journey to freedom. Capri - Skagen - Monte Verità

Description

At a time of social upheaval caused by the industrial revolution, artists far from the big cities tried out alternative lifestyles and social utopias and focused on topics such as women's emancipation, queer identity and closeness to nature. The exhibition presents three selected places of longing and makes it possible to experience the artistic awakening to a free and communal future. It confronts us with romantic and idealized depictions of landscape alongside naturalistic - sometimes brutal - everyday images of workers, especially fishermen. In doing so, she links art-historical and social issues of surprising topicality.
