Robert Schneider’s Verdun <\/em>cycle gets finally completely exhibited<\/strong><\/p>\n

Robert Schneider’s impressive and touching Verdun cycle will be exhibited for the first time in its entirety: the 40 large-format charcoal drawings3<\/a><\/sup> can be seen 90 years after the end of the First World War – the “great seminal catastrophe” of the 20th century – at the Erich Maria Remarque-Friedenszentrum<\/em>4<\/a><\/sup> (Erich Maria Remarque Peace Centre) in Osnabr\u00fcck.<\/p>\n

Robert Schneider is capable of transporting emotions in his realistic works: without showing actual acts of war, one is feeling the suffering the place and the people had to endure and how blood-soaked, hacked and battered the landscape is in the end. Parts of the Verdun <\/em>cycle have already been exhibited in the Landesmuseum Oldenburg <\/em>and the Deutsches Historisches Museum <\/em>(German Historic Museum) in Berlin – both these group exhibitions have been worth seeing, indeed.<\/p>\n

The exhibition’s opening will take place on February 5th 2009 at 7:30 PM. Prof. Dr. Bernd K\u00fcster from the Landesmuseum f\u00fcr Kunst und Kulturgeschichte <\/em>in Oldenburg will introduce into the exhibition. He curated the excellent exhibition Der Erste Weltkrieg und die Kunst<\/em> (“The First World War and the Arts”) mentioned above. The exhibition is open until April 5th 2009<\/strong>; a visit that is highly recommended.<\/p>\n
