progressive cologne 1920-33 - seiwert-hoerle-arntz

Over thirty years have passed since the Cologne Progressives were last the subject of a large-scale exhibition. The central concern of the group was the unification of art and radical politics. The loosely organized circle of politically and artistically like-minded individuals in 1920s Cologne sought a new and unique formal language re-shaped by class consciousness. By focusing on three core members, Franz Wilhelm Seiwert, Heinrich Hoerle and Gerd Arntz, the exhibition will reveal the group’s shared project as never before.
By no means merely regional, the Progressives’ contact to international artists, critics and intellectuals helped shape the face of Weimar period art. Their work was shown in exhibitions in New York, Moscow and Berlin, to name just a few. The end of the Cologne Progressives coincided with the end of the Weimar Republic. During the Nazi period their art was declared “degenerate.”
