Misunderstood during his lifetime and branded as "the crazy man with the red hair," Vincent van Gogh is one of the most famous artists of all time. As one of the founders of modern art he created a unique body of work, against all odds, which continues to enrapture a worldwide audience.
The name Oskar Schlemmer (1888-1943) is closely connected with the State Bauhaus, which was founded in 1919. As a painter, sculptor, draftsman and graphic artist, as a wall designer, stage designer and choreographer, Oskar Schlemmer is one of the most versatile artists of the 20th century.
His Great Wave off Kanagawa is the most famous work in East Asian art. Hokusai, a self-confessed eccentric and obsessive, created with his pictures of the floating world a veritable encyclopedia of Japanese daily life and thus became a major source for Europeans seeking to understand the art and culture of Japan.
