With the exhibition "Maurice de Vlaminck. Rebel of Modernism" is the first comprehensive retrospective of the important French painter in Germany. In collaboration with the Museum Barberini in Potsdam, around 50 selected works will be presented, providing an in-depth insight into Vlaminck's diverse oeuvre. The exhibition shows his development from the color-intensive, expressive paintings of the so-called Fauves ("Wild Ones"), which are striking for their parallels to German Expressionism, to his later landscape paintings in late Impressionism. International loans from renowned institutions such as the Centre Pompidou (Paris), the Musée d'Orsay (Paris), the Art Institute of Chicago, the Tate (London) and the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza (Madrid) contribute to the significance of this exhibition.

Maurice de Vlaminck, who was born in Paris in 1876, was one of the leading artists of the French avant-garde. Although he had no academic training, he left his mark on modern painting with his rebellious attitude towards traditional rules. Particularly inspired by Vincent van Gogh, he achieved international recognition as a member of the Fauves, a group of artists around Henri Matisse. The retrospective sheds light on Vlaminck's central role in 20th century art and makes it clear why he is considered a key figure of modernism.
