Ludwig Meidner - Expressionismus, Ekstase, Exil

Ludwig Meidner is an outstanding Expressionist and one of the most important Jewish artists of the 20th century. His drawings, paintings and literary works register the upheavals and convulsions of his time. The conference proceedings of the Jewish Museum Frankfurt present the current status of scholarly Meidner research and explore Meidner's oeuvre and its reception as phenomena of contemporary history. A major focus is directed on the explicitly Jewish aspects of his works and their changeful perception.
