I visited an exhibition in Hagen again :-)

 On the 2nd September I needed to see art - whatever it takes. I took my car and drove to Hagen and visited the Osthaus Museum. Here we go:

The Karl Ernst Osthaus-Museum is an art museum in Hagen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The center of the museum is a building whose interior was designed by Henry van de Velde to house Karl Ernst Osthaus' art collection, open to the public as the Museum Folkwang. When Osthaus' heirs sold his art collection to the city of Essen, the city of Hagen gained possession of the empty museum building. For a time it served as offices for the local electric company. 

 After World War II, the new director of Hagen's city art museum, Herta Hesse, oversaw the restoration of the old Folkwang building into a new home for Hagen's art museum. Although the original interior design was lost due to reconstruction and World War II bombings, the interior has been restored several times and gives a reasonable approximation of Osthaus' original museum,

just enjoy the wonderful chandelier and a painting by Laszlos Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946)

"Composition"

 

These two painting faszinated me most this time:

"Acrobats" by Max Pechstein (1881-1955)

"View from Haut-Cagnes to the sea, after 1903"

by Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919)

Two artists were on display and their work of art couldn't be richer in contrast:

 

Monika Kus-Picco, born 1973 in Vienna, is an artist, photographer and sculptor.

Her exhibits show medical products, ingredrients of various expired pills transferred on large canvases.

 

Hunt Slonem, born 1951 in Kittery, Maine. He is an American painter, sculptor, and printmaker and he loves parrots, bunnies and toucans in rows
