Bernhard Hoetger (1874 - 1949) would have been 150 years old on May 4! A reason to focus on the artist's art history this year
Hoetger was one of the avant-garde artists of the early 20th century. He was able to win over numerous patrons. Ludwig Roselius, for example, commissioned him to design parts of Bremen's Böttcherstrasse. In Worpswede, he shaped the image that visitors associate with the artists' village today. Hoetger took a 'Nordic' path in the mid-1920s. Despite his nationalist ideas, Adolf Hitler had Hoetger's works classified as 'degenerate'. Experts and historical companions (played by actors) have their say in the film, whose descriptions are based on original quotes from the historical figures. Fictional elements are mixed with documentary footage, archive material and works of art. The result is a multifaceted picture of the painter, sculptor and architect Bernhard Hoetger.
