NEU ENTDECKT: Georg Greve-Lindau

In the organizer's words:

Only a few people in Erlangen are still familiar with his name, but the local art scene would have been significantly poorer without him. The artist, who came from Lindau in Lower Saxony, lived and worked in Schallershof and Tennenlohe from 1906 to 1910. He captured his impressions of this time in numerous colorful oil paintings and expressive etchings.

To mark the 150th anniversary of his birth, the Stadtmuseum Erlangen is showing an overview of his work from
January 25, the Stadtmuseum Erlangen is presenting an overview of the work of Georg Greve-Lindau (1876-1963), which stylistically spans an arc from Realism to Impressionism and also took up impulses from Expressionist painting. The exhibition, which can be seen until April 12, focuses on the Erlangen years and Greve-Lindau's significance for the local art scene at the time. Most of the 50 family-owned paintings and prints are on display in Erlangen for the first time, including views of Bruck, Schallershof, Tennenlohe and the surrounding area.

The exhibition entitled "NEU ENTDECKT" is the first part of a double presentation, the second part of which will be dedicated to the artist Adolf Schinnerer (1876-1949) at the end of the year, which also marks the 150th anniversary of his birth. Schinnerer was not only a friend of Greve-Lindau's from their time together at the academy in Karlsruhe, but also his brother-in-law and encouraged him to move to Franconia.
