Guided tour by the curator and finissage of the exhibition “Max Liebermann. An Impressionist from Berlin”

 

On the last day of the exhibition Max Liebermann. An Impressionist from Berlin, we invite you to a guided tour with exhibition curator Alice Cazzola and celebrate the finissage together.

The exhibition presents, for the first time in Italy, the entire artistic career of Max Liebermann (1847-1935), one of the greatest innovators of late 19th-century German painting. During the guided tour, visitors will be able to learn about his relationships with Holland, France and, above all, discover a hitherto lesser-known aspect: Liebermann’s ties with Italy, where he traveled at least six times. Between 1878 and 1913 he visited Venice, Florence, Rome and Naples and had close relationships with leading figures on the Italian art scene. From the beginnings in 1895, he was one of the protagonists of the first International Art Exhibitions in the city of Venice, today’s Venice Biennale, and participated in numerous group exhibitions in Italy. Several of his works then became part of famous Italian museums, some of which are gathered at the Casa di Goethe, such as: Self-portrait of 1908 on loan from the Uffizi Galleries (Florence), Ragazzi al bagno of 1899 from GAM – Galleria d’Arte Moderna (Milan).

1 September is the last day to visit the exhibition The Uncanny House. We cordially invite you to the finissage at 6 p.m. including a guided tour and a final brindisi!

The exhibition The Uncanny House, curated by Ilaria Marotta and Andrea Baccin, presents new artistic perspectives on the concept of the uncanny that has inspired literary fantasy, fairy tales, horror stories and artistic creation since the early 19th century. The works of eighteen international artists investigate the sense of  unheimlich, i.e. the uncanny, within the Rome appartment where Johann Wolfgang von Goethe lived between 1786 and 1788. Having lost the physical traces of his passage, today empty spaces, interstices, chimeras, temporal shifts and voices are revealed.
