The Berlin Secession, the  first Secession in Germany with artists like Heinrich Zille, Hans  Baluschek, and K\u00e4the Kollwitz, turned to themes of social critique. The  precarious living and housing situation of the growing working class  during industrialization were central subjects of their works. The  coming of the First World War represented a dramatic turning point. The  second generation of artists shown in the exhibition, including Otto  Dix, George Grosz, and Otto Nagel, no longer took up the cause of the  \u201cordinary man,\u201d but instead criticized the general problems of the  Weimar Republic. New techniques like collage were used to warn against  political developments using textual and visual material. As in no other  city of the German Empire and no other major European urban center,  artists in Berlin made it their task to explore subjects like war,  revolution, capitalism, and social injustice and towards that end sought  to collaborate with the other arts, like theatre or literature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A catalogue will appear to mark the exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Curators: Dr. Tobias Hoffmann, Dr. Anna Grosskopf<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Advertising motif: Gerwin Schmidt, 2018,&nbsp; \u00a9 VG Bild-Kunst, Bonn 2018, for the work of Otto Nagel<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The exhibition spans from the 1890s to the 1930s and focuses on social critique in Berlin art of the period.
