FERDINAND HODLER - Elective Affinities from Klimt to Schiele

Press release available only in original language. 

This presentation at the #leopoldmuseum will be the most comprehensive retrospective exhibition of works by #ferdinandhodler (1853–1918) in Austria since the artist’s resounding success at the 1904 Secession exhibition. An exponent of Symbolism and Jugendstil, a pioneer of Expressionism, and not least an innovator of monumental painting, Hodler was an important inspiration to numerous artists of Viennese Modernism, such as #gustavklimt and Koloman Moser, as well as Oskar Kokoschka and #egonschiele. The presentation focuses on the three main themes of Hodler’s art: landscapes from plein air painting to abstraction, portraits with an emphasis on female depictions, self-portraits, the haunting series of works accompanying the death of his lover Valentine Godé-Darel, as well as his eminent Symbolist figural compositions.
