Weimar Republic's Contradictions Explored in Munich Exhibition

The Lenbachhaus museum in Munich is showcasing an exhibition entitled 'A Long-Distance Call: Scenes from the Weimar Republic.' This event features prominent figures such as Käte Hoch, Gabriele Münter, and August Sander among others, emphasizing the New Objectivity movement from the 1920s. The artworks critically examine the complexities of German society post-World War I, presenting themes of affluence and social inequalities. Notably, Hoch's painting of Erich Müller-Kamp on the phone serves as the exhibition's namesake. The exhibition will be on display until September 27, 2026, and includes George Grosz's 1930 work depicting the ominous rise of Nazism.
