Connaissez-vous cette femme ? Entre 1819 et 1919, 31 femmes artistes ont travaillé à Düsseldorf. À l’époque, les femmes n’étaient pas admises à étudier à la célèbre académie des beaux-arts. Certaines d’entre elles ont néanmoins acquis une certaine notoriété et une certaine renommée de leur vivant, mais elles sont tombées dans l’oubli au fil des ans. L’exposition présente leurs œuvres et élargit ainsi considérablement la compréhension de l’art du XIXe et du début du XXe siècle. Découvrez dans cette visite guidée une sélection d’artistes féminines et le parcours de leur vie.

    Was ist das Faszinierende an Autos? Welche Erinnerungen, welche Erwartungen verknüpfen sich mit ihnen? Ist es das Versprechen von Freiheit, Geschwindigkeit und Mobilität oder die Begeisterung für Technik und Innovation? Wir gehen diesen Fragen zeichnerisch nach. Proportionen, Linien und Materialien sind wichtige Details. Sie lassen wenig Spielraum und fordern mehr Präzision beim Abzeichnen. Freiraum bietet dann die Erfindung des eigenen Traumautos.
