Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg (MKG), Hamburg

Organised by Kunstgewerbemuseum Dresden
On show for the first time, this exhibition shines a spotlight on the work of 18 women designers and a product photographer who worked for the Deutsche Werkstätten in the early 20th century. These artists have been forgotten over time despite their busy design and teaching activities, multitude of exhibitions and successfully winning competitions. Women who worked as furniture designers even though they were only often trained as drawing teachers, and generally without a university entrance qualification at the time. Women who disrupted traditional social roles and gained new autonomy and self-determination in their everyday professional and social lives by pursuing a field that had been previously reserved for men. These women not only made a vital contribution to the success of fledgling workshops, they also decisively advanced the reform movement in Germany.
Exhibition: Blue, the Colour of Modernisme

CaixaForum, Seville
www.caixaforum.es/es/sevilla/fichaexposicion?entryId=876368
Organised by Obra Social 'laCaixa'
The touring exhibition "Blue, the Colour of Art Nouveau" aims to explore the spirit of a period in which blue was a predominant thread. In the late nineteenth century, relating landscapes and the phenomena of nature to moods, so as to transmit the soul's hues and tonalities, ended up constituting a poetological aesthetic that became inscribed within the great movement of modernity, moving through Symbolism and witnessing the birth of the cinematograph.

Exhibition: Joan Miró. The Gaudí Series
From 26.06.2019 to 29.09.2019
Fundació Joan Miró, Barcelona
www.fmirobcn.org/ca/exposicions/cat/1/exposicio-temporal/actual
Organised by Fundació Joan Miró
The exhibition highlights the influence of Antoni Gaudí on Miró's production through a group of prints titled Gaudí Series, comprising twenty-one pieces in a variety of sizes and featuring fantastic characters with which the artist paid tribute to the architect in the mid-1960s. Miró was particularly drawn to the rhythm and structure of Gaudí's work; he shared his urge to question the use of existing procedures and materials as well as a deep bond with nature, the generating force behind his creations. The treatment of colour and the use of curved lines in these prints are reminiscent of the trencadís broken-tile mosaic technique, a hallmark of Gaudí's work.
Exhibition: Antoni Fabrés
From 31.05.2019 to 29.09.2019
Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC), Barcelona
www.museunacional.cat/en/antoni-fabres-0
Organised by Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC)
The exhibition aims to recover the work of a Catalan painter who in his lifetime was very successful, but who with the inexorable passage of time has been forgotten by the different generations of historiographers.
The installation focuses on the work of the sculptor and painter Antoni Fabrés i Costa (1854 - 1938), who at the age of 25, while a student at the Llotja School in Barcelona, was awarded a grant to go to Rome, the city that was then the natural destination for outstanding artists. After he arrived there, in 1875, a year after the death of Marià Fortuny, Fabrés devoted himself to drawing, painting and watercolour, three techniques that he mastered like none other in his day.

Through more than 80 paintings and exquisite prints, this exhibition reveals Vallotton's extraordinary body of work, including compelling portraits, dreamlike landscapes and satirical prints distilled into pure blocks of black and white.
Exhibition: KünstlerHAUS - MeisterHAUS - MeisterBAU. The Origins of Modernism
From 30.06.2019 to 20.10.2019
Darmstadt Artists' Colony Museum
www.mathildenhoehe.eu/ausstellungen/aktuell/
Organised by Institut Mathildenhöhe, Darmstadt
To commemorate the centenary of the founding of the Bauhaus, the Institut Mathildenhöhe is presenting the exhibition that will shed light on the importance of the Bauhaus and post-World War II architecture. The exhibition in 1901 by the Darmstadt Artists' Colony was the very first permanent exhibition of modern architecture in the world and it has influenced many exhibitions and urban planning projects ever since. It was mainly the colony members Joseph Maria Olbrich and Peter Behrens who presented new ideas in Darmstadt through their future-oriented architecture and holistic design and these were further developed by the Werkbund, which both of them co-founded, and ultimately by the Bauhaus. It is no coincidence that Bauhaus directors Walter Gropius and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe both worked in the studio of Peter Behrens very early in their careers and witnessed how the architect fused handicraft, creative design and large-scale manufacturing. After 1945, the heritage of the Darmstadt Artist's Colony inspired the war-torn city to rebuild itself as a centre of modern architecture and design and these endeavours led to the construction of several "Meisterbauten" (Masterful Architectonic Creations) designed by such renowned architects as Max Taut, Otto Bartning and Ernst Neufert.
Exhibition: Midsummer Night Harald Sohlberg: A Norwegian Landscape Painter around 1900
From 12.07.2019 to 27.10.2019

Organised by Museum Wiesbaden in cooperation with Oslo National Museum
This installation is the first retrospective on the European continent of the Norwegian painter Harald Sohlberg (1869-1935) in honour of the artist's 150th birthday. Sohlberg, who was a contemporary and friend of Edvard Munch (1863-1944), is best known for his major work Winter Night in Rondane, produced between 1899 and 1914. The painting still captures the soul of the Norwegians today and was voted the most popular painting in the country by citizens in the 1990s. This icon of Norwegian art, which has never been on loan since it was acquired in 1918 by the National Museum in Oslo, will be on show in Wiesbaden.
