Trailer: Maurice de Vlaminck

The exhibition Maurice de Vlaminck: Modern Art Rebel is the first posthumous retrospective devoted to the Fauvist and influential artist of the French avant-garde in a German museum. With 73 selected exhibits, it provides a broad overview of Vlaminck's entire painting oeuvre: from his first compositions executed at the beginning of the 20th century, through his experiments with Cubism inspired by Cézanne and Picasso, to his last landscape paintings, in which he developed a highly individual variety of Late Impressionism.

The starting point for the exhibition in Potsdam is the Hasso Plattner Collection, which has nine works by Vlaminck, including four key works from his Fauvist heyday. The approximately 40 international lenders include the Tate Modern in London, the Museo nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, the Centre Pompidou and the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, as well as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Dallas Museum of Art and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.

An exhibition of the Museum Barberini, Potsdam, and the Von der Heydt Museum, Wuppertal, where the exhibition will be on view from February 16, to May 18, 2025.
