Curatorial context
The 'Dreams and Nightmares' exhibition at the Montanelli Museum presents a unique collection of art from the Museum of Persecuted Arts of Solingen, focusing on Central European artists from the first half of the twentieth century. These artists, who actively fought against national socialism and communism, created works that embody both the human struggle for dignity and the horrors of totalitarian regimes, terrorism, and war.
The exhibition's central figure is the artist Else Lasker-Schüler, whose drawings and collages are prominently featured. The collection also includes works by numerous other artists, such as Josef Albers, Georg Grosz, Ludwig Meidner, and Carl Rabus, many of whom are being seen in the Czech Republic for the first time. The exhibition serves as a powerful testimony to the resilience and courage of artists who dared to think freely in the face of extreme political oppression, persecution, and violence.
