Dix/Beckmann World as Myth 11 April – 10 August 2014 With this exhibition, the Kunsthalle pre sents the first major juxtaposition of works by Beckmann (1884–1950) and Dix (1891–1969), two of the most important German artists of the first half of the 20th century. Their works had a profound influence on the cultural life of the Weimar Republic (1919–1933) before being declared “degenerate” by the National Socialists, endangering the very existence of the artists. Over 180 paintings, drawings and prints from important museums and private collections in Amsterdam, Berlin, London, New York and Washington, among many others, illustrate the artistic development and range of the two artists.
