DEEDS CALENDAR: Maurice de Vlaminck. Modern Art Rebel – Museum Barberini | until 12.01.2025

The Museum Barberini in Potsdam is showing Maurice de Vlaminck. Unmixed colors, impetuous brushwork, abstract formal language: at the beginning of the 20th century, a group of artists shocked the public with a style of painting that radically deviated from previous artistic conventions. The artists known as the “Fauves” or “Wilde” – above all Maurice de Vlaminck (1876-1958) – set out on the path to modernism. Initially celebrated as a pioneer of French Expressionism, the artist’s last retrospective in Germany was almost 100 years ago.
