Lecture by Anna Schultz

5:00 PM - 19:00 Cooper Gallery | Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design

The Goethe-Institute Glasgow and the Hunterian are delighted to present a lecture by Anna Schultz, curator in the art collections of “Die Akademie der Künste” in Berlin who specialises in art of the 18th and 19th centuries and posters. Anna will talk about some of the Berlin printmakers represented in the exhibition “The German Revolution: Expressionist Prints”, focusing especially on Käthe Kollwitz and Lovis Corinth.

Featuring works from The Hunterian’s pioneering collection of German Expressionist prints, this major exhibition explores artists’ responses to the German Revolution of 1918-1919. Presenting works by stellar artists such as Munch, Nolde, Schiele, Kokoschka, Kollwitz, Beckmann, Picasso, Goya and Gauguin, The German Revolution explores this turbulent period, linking the strong German tradition of graphic art with the social, political, sexual and moral struggles taking place at the time.
