Felix Nussbaum exhibition

Osnabrück's Felix Nussbaum Haus (architect Daniel Libeskind) currently exhibits Nussbaum's works within the context of paintings of other artists of his time, e.g. Paul Klee, Max Beckmann and Pablo Picasso. Nussbaum, who was born in Osnabrück 100 years ago (December 1904), is Osnabrück's most famous artist. The city celebrates Nussbaums anniversary with a special exhibition Zeit im Blick.

We went there with the entire family. Since we were already familiar with the architecture we fully focused on the art. The paintings are grouped by subject and give an interesting contrast. Self-portraits depicting helplessness voiced through the medium of art, the cohesion of family during the Nazi regime, etc. A very very remarkable exhibition which has seen more than 20,000 visitors already. Highly recommended!
