Painter Rudolf Levy (1875-1944) was a central figure in the Munich
and Paris avant-gardes, and enjoyed great success with his
colourful portraits, landscapes and still lifes in Berlin during
the 1920s, including in the legendary Flechtheim Gallery. When the
National Socialists seized power, this brought his career to an
abrupt end. After an odyssey of flight, Levy was able to settle in
Florence, where his work reached a final impressive climax before
his deportation and murder in Auschwitz concentration camp. The
Pfalzgalerie Kaiserslautern is the first German exhibition house to
dedicate a retrospective to the work and life of Rudolf Levy. The
catalogue opens the perspective on an artist of European standing
whose rich pictorial world can be rediscovered again and again.
Contributions by renowned authors shed light on Levy’s fate as a
persecuted artist and as a persecuted Jew, on the artistic
kaleidoscope of his time, his years in exile in Florence, and the
reception and re-canonisation of his art in the young Federal
Republic. Rediscovery of a great classic of modernism to mark a
first retrospective in Germany – Project in international
cooperation with the Uffizi Gallery in Florence Standard work on
Rudolf Levy in German Including a contemporary art and text
