In a major thematic exhibition, the SCHIRN takes a look at art in Germany in the years 1918-1933.
Social tensions, political struggles, social upheavals, but also artistic revolutions characterize the Weimar Republic.
Realistic, ironic, and grotesque works illustrate the struggle for democracy and paint a picture of a society in crisis and transition. The processing of the First World War in the form of images of crippled soldiers and "war profiteers", the big city with its amusement industry and increasing prostitution, the political unrest and economic abysses are stylistically interpreted just as diversely as the role model of the "New Woman" or the debates about homosexuality) and abortion. Social changes or the growing enthusiasm for sports are also reflected in the art of the time.
The exhibition brings together some 200 works by well-known and little-known artists. Together with historical photographs, films, magazines and posters, the SCHIRN creates an impressive panorama of the art of the Weimar Republic.
