Else Lasker-Schüler was not only a great poet, but also a wonderful illustrator. Now the Hamburger Bahnhof museum in Berlin pays tribute to this amazing artist, especially focusing on her work as a draftswoman. Opened on January 21, 2011, the exhibition was designed in collaboration with the Frankfurt am Main Jewish Museum and will be open until May 1 of that year.
And the thing is that the relationship Else Lasker-Schüler had with the German capital was always close. It was there where she published her first Expressionists poems in 1899, and where in 1903 she married the writer Georg Lewin, director of the legendary magazine “Der Sturm”, which began to be published since 1910.
In her drawings you can clearly perceive the influence of Jugendstil, Expressionism, Futurism and Dada trends. But especially, artists such as Franz Marc, founder of the Blue Rider and close friend of Lasker-Schuler and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, German Expressionist proponent of excellence.
The exhibition will also have an interesting catalog that includes all the existing works of the artist, as well as some reports on it. And the thing is that even today, Else Lasker-Schüler is known as a prolific poet, but, in turn, has been completely excluded from the canon of art history. Therefore, this large retrospective at the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin serves as the institutional consecration of a forgotten artist, who, however, provided interesting painting proposals to the art world.
We encourage you to travel to the German capital early this year, and though whispers say that the city loses its charm in the cold months, here we propose you to visit the city from its most intimate and romantic side, when tourists have not invaded their streets yet.
