The Museum Casa di Goethe is dedicating a retrospective exhibition to an exceptional modernist artist: Max Peiffer Watenphul (Weferlingen, 1896 – Rome, 1976). Restless, independent and eclectic, he was a student at the Weimar Bauhaus, where he found a singular figurative style. Little noticed by art history until now, Max Peiffer Watenphul was very well connected within the artistic avant-garde of the 1920s. He was a city and landscape painter, a passionate photographer of subjects with idiosyncratic identities and a restless traveller, especially after one of his paintings was exhibited in the Degenerate Art exhibition in 1937. Italy was a place of longing for Peiffer Watenphul, which he travelled to frequently and where he eventually lived after 1945.
