Germany versus France: an explosive match. In 2016, we think \nprimarily of sport events, but in the early twentieth century the two \ncountries met on the battlefields of Europe. In matters of art and \nstyle, the relationship between the two countries was also shaped by a \nmutual competition. How do we want to live? What things do we want to \nsurround ourselves with? And what is good style?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From Jugendstil \nor art nouveau around 1900 through the art deco of the 1920s and \nfunctionalism, different concepts of living and dwelling were developed \nin the two countries that perhaps represented a reaction to the ideas \nfrom the other country. This exhibition compares German Jugendstil and \nFrench art nouveau and explores the exaggeration of these stylistic \nstruggles in the 1920s. The range stretches from \u00c9cole de Nancy with its\n excessive ornamentation to the minimalist type and machine furniture of\n Deutscher Werkbund, the elegant luxury of objects of French art deco to\n the functionalist forms of New Frankfurt. Furniture and design objects \nfrom Germany and France enter into a dialogue with one another and \nillustrate the relationship between the unequal neighbors marked by \nartistic exchange and national competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to pieces from the Br\u00f6han Museum collection that have not been exhibited from some time, the exhibition also presents numerous new acquisitions, gifts, and long-term loans. Works by August Endell, Willi Baumeister, Hans Christiansen, Joseph Maria Olbrich, Louis Majorelle, Ren\u00e9 Lalique, Alfons Mucha, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Henry van de Velde, Marcel Breuer, Le Corbusier, Jean Emile Puiforcat, Jean Prouv\u00e9 and many others are shown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
