The Mad Square: Modernity in German Art 1910-37
In an era of chaos came an explosion of creativity – edgy, provocative, yet utterly compelling.
Germany at the start of the 20th century was a country in turmoil. Amidst chaos and revolution, bold new movements such as Expressionism, Dada, Constructivism, Bauhaus and New Objectivity exploded onto the turbulent social landscape. The artists’ shared interest in radical experimentation extended across art-forms, forging innovative directions across painting, photography, design, decorative arts, film, theatre, street art and political satire.
This major exhibition brings together over 200 diverse works showcasing one of the most influential periods in German art and culture, featuring leading artists such as Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, George Grosz, Hannah Höch and El Lissitzky amongst others.
