Liebe und Verrat – Der Expressionist Fritz Ascher aus New Yorker Privatsammlungen

In the organizer's words:

Influenced by the horrors of the First World War and the revolutionary unrest, the Expressionist Fritz Ascher (1893-1970) turned to Christian-spiritual themes, which he radically reinterpreted. From 1916 onwards, he explored the themes of love and betrayal in intimate drawings. During his persecution under National Socialism, he created impressive poems that are considered his "unpainted pictures". They complement early charcoal, graphite and ink drawings as well as colorful gouaches with deep emotionality.

An exhibition by the Augustinermuseum and the Museum für Neue Kunst.

In cooperation with the Fritz Ascher Society for Persecuted, Ostracized and Banned Art, New York
