Margarete and Oskar Moll and Mathilde and Hans Purrmann were important catalysts of the European avant-garde.

On the essence of nature– Two centuries of sensed art. The collection Andreas Gerritzen
“On the essence of nature” presents a remarkable private collection, presented for the first time in its own exhibition. For 25 years now, the Bremen doctor of microbiology has been collecting art of the 19th and 20th centuries, but also individual positions of contemporary art. His main focus is on European landscape painting of the 19th and early 20th centuries as well as highlights of still life painting, in which the hommage to beauty and the knowledge of transience come together in a contemplative moment.

In less than two decades, Jacoba van Heemskerck (1876-1923) created a powerful oeuvre that includes paintings, woodcuts and glass works. Rhythmic compositions of pictorial space, black outlines and an intensive use of colour characterise the Dutch artist’s expressive landscape, city and harbour motifs.

Renée Sintenis– Pioneer of sculpture
The exhibition presents one of the famous sculptress of the 1920s: She was said to be the face of the Weimar Republic and with her bobbed hair an idol of the “new woman”. With her small animal sculptures and her formal language, characterised by an impressionistic flicker of the surface design, she gains a reputation on a national and international level.
