Though created during the same time-frame, between 1915 and 1935, the garden pictures of Paul Klee and Max Liebermann are formally worlds apart: on the one hand abstraction, on the other impressionism. This exhibition is the first to place them side by side. While highlighting the specificity of their respective formal languages, the exhibition will also illustrate the similarities between the two artists. Find out more about the ‘Garden Pictures’ exhibition from the Liebermann Villa’s website.
