Next exhibition: “Nothing without Nature” – Ewald Mataré's Animal Sculptures

Ewald Mataré (1887–1965) is one of the most important artists of the 20th century in Germany. His career was shaped by the major political and social events of his time – the First World War, the Weimar Republic, the Great Depression and the National Socialist dictatorship. Ewald Mataré was a painter, graphic artist and sculptor. His depictions of animals, in which the cow plays a central role, occupy a unique position in German sculpture of his time.

The exhibition at Kunsthaus Dahlem is dedicated to this thematic focus – with over 70 works, it illustrates the formal and aesthetic development of animal sculpture in Mataré’s artistic work.
