Reframing German Expressionism: Jay A. Clarke, Starr Figura, and Freyda Spira in conversation
February 18, 2024 · 2:00 PM ET
Jay A. Clarke, Starr Figura and Freyda Spira
In 2024, three major US exhibitions will reexamine and reframe the work of Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Käthe Kollwitz, Paula Modersohn-Becker, and Edvard Munch: Munch and Kirchner: Anxiety and Expression (Yale University Art Gallery, Feb 16 - June 23) considers the work of Munch and Kirchner from the perspective of mental health. Käthe Kollwitz (Museum of Modern Art, New York, March 31 - July 20) spotlights Kollwitz’s role as an agent of social change and female empowerment. Paula Modersohn-Becker: I am Me (Neue Galerie New York, June 6 - Sept 9, and Art Institute of Chicago, Oct 12 - Jan 12, 2025) addresses Modersohn-Becker’s innovative style and unconventional view of women. Join the curators for a round-table discussion about these projects and how four path breaking artists used prints and drawings to ask new questions and address different audiences.
Offered in conjunction with *Munch and Kirchner: Anxiety and Expression*, Yale University Art Gallery, Feb 16 - June 23 2024.
