Jawlensky and Soutine. Witnesses of a torn century
Part of the series Focus Fokus Im Obersteg
Exhibition at Kunstmuseum Basel, Main Building, Mezzanine Level
October 17, 2020 - October 10, 2021
Curator: Henriette Mentha
Social upheavals led to breaks in the biographies of Alexei von Jawlensky and Chaïm Soutine. Both left their Russian and Belarusian homelands and came to the West: Jawlensky in 1906 to Munich, Soutine in 1913 to Paris. The Kunstmuseum Basel is showing their works from the Im Obersteg collection in an intimate cabinet exhibition.
