Paul Eliasberg: Verzauberte Räume

In the organizer's words:

Paul Eliasberg: Enchanted Rooms

An exhibition at Haus am Löwenwall

Paul Eliasberg (1907-1983) is one of the most important artists of the 20th century. His work is characterized by motifs such as French cathedrals, Gothic vaults and constructed rooms, which he drew and etched with a hair-thin line. Another motif is the picturesque landscape of Greece with its islands, which Eliasberg has visited continuously since 1957.

Eliasberg studied at the Académie Ranson and was a master student of Roger Bissière from 1928 to 1930. His graphic style, which emphasizes the line and is continued in his etchings, can be compared with works by Klee and Feininger. His spatial fantasies are reminiscent of Piranesi's Carceri d'Invenzione.
Based on a generous donation from the artist's daughter, Danielle Eliasberg (Paris), the Städtisches Museum Braunschweig is presenting an overview of Paul Eliasberg's multifaceted oeuvre in an extensive exhibition of around 70 works.

In a cooperation project with the Braunschweig University of Art (HBK), Eliasberg's pictorial creations will be reinterpreted by students and placed in a dialog with one another
