Die Geschichte des Museum Folkwang ist untrennbar mit dem Expressionismus verknüpft. Bereits die ersten Museumsdirektoren Karl Ernst Osthaus und Ernst Gosebruch pflegten enge Kontakte zu den wichtigsten Vertretern und Vertreterinnen dieser revolutionären Kunstrichtung vom Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts. In frühen Ausstellungen präsentierten sie Werke von Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Oskar Kokoschka, Franz Marc, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Emil Nolde oder Egon Schiele und erwarben zentrale Arbeiten von ihnen. Umgekehrt fanden Künstlerinnen und Künstler Inspiration in der Sammlung und den Ausstellungen des Museums. Für die Künstlergruppe Der Blaue Reiter würdigte Franz Marc das Folkwang 1912 als »Museum, das in seiner Art ein Vorbild unseres Gedankenganges ist.« Für Schiele war es das »beste moderne Museum«. Anhand von Meisterwerken der Malerei, Grafik und Skulptur widmet sich der Katalog diesem ebenso intensiven wie fruchtbaren Austausch. Zugleich erzählt er die wechselvolle Geschichte des Expressionismus am Folkwang und darüber hinaus: Anfangs heftig diskutiert, setzte sich der Stil immer stärker durch, was in den 1930er Jahren ein jähes Ende nahm, als expressionistische Werke verfemt und beschlagnahmt wurden. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg fand er rasch wieder grösste Anerkennung und wird bis heute gesammelt. Der Katalog präsentiert über 200 Kunstwerke aus dem Museum Folkwang und anderen bedeutenden Sammlungen und macht anschaulich, dass der Expressionismus auch nach über 100 Jahren nichts von seiner visuellen Kraft verloren hat.
Per Kirkeby 1938-2018 Per Kirkeby was a Danish painter, sculptor and writer. In 1962 he entered the Eksperimenterende Kunst-skole (Experimental Art School) in Copenhagen. His first important one-man exhibition abroad was at the Museum Folkwang, Essen, in 1977. He later exhibited widely at public and commercial galleries throughout Europe and the USA. A prolific artist, Kirkeby used a range of different media. He was a member of the Fluxus group and was influenced by Pop art in the 1960s. Later he was influenced by Tachism and Abstract Expressionism. The vigorous brushwork and chromatic beauty of his, mostly untitled, paintings and the sensuous modelling of his rough black bronzes have earned him the title “lyric expressionist”. The paintings, which tend towards the abstract, bear veiled iconographic reference, largely to the Danish landscape and the female figure. In contrast to the poetic and dramatic character of his paintings and black bronzes Kirkeby’s brick sculptures display an unusual clarity. They make strong reference to traditional Danish housing and are inspired by Mayan architecture, as in the house-like, symmetrical form (1973) at Ikast, Denmark. In 1981 Kirkeby completed a group of such sculptures for the County Council building in Ålborg. His concern with experiment and conceptual art led him to execute a series of works in chalk on blackboard, and he regularly published poetry, essays and travel books, as well as making television and full-length documentary films. He also produced many artist’s books, such as the “picture novel” Landskaberne (“Landscapes”; Copenhagen, 1969). Comes with Passe-Partout

Max Liebermann "Der Papageienmann" DIETZ-Giclée auf Leinwand im Siebdruck mit Strukturen veredelt Limitierte Auflage: 990 Exemplare Format mit Rahmen ca. 73 x 53 cm Original: Museum Folkwang, Essen Entstehungsjahr: 1902 Einige der Hauptwerke Liebermanns sind in den Niederlanden entstanden, so auch das Motiv "Der Papageienmann". Dieses Werk ist eine wunderbare Komposition aus Lichtstimmung und Farbe. Das Sonnenlicht scheint durch die Blätter, die großen Bäumen spenden Schatten. Im Mittelpunkt steht der Papageienmann, der sich um seine farbenprächtigen Papageien kümmert. Es wird gedeutet, dass er die Vögel von der Stange nimmt, um sie in die Volieren zu bringen. Im Hintergrund sieht man Besucher des Amsterdamer Zoos flanieren.

Essens Folkwang Museum sagte die Fotoausstellung des Künstlers Balthus ab, weil vielen sein Werk als kinderpornografisch gilt. Ist das ein legitimer Grund? Ein Plädoyer für die Freiheit der Kunst.
