A lecture with: Dr. Keywan Klaus Münster / Dr. Helmut Rönz, LVR Institute for Regional Studies and Regional History.
On the occasion of her 140th birthday, the Kölnisches Stadtmuseum is commemorating the Cologne artist Olga Oppenheimer, an important pioneer of Expressionism in the Rhineland whose work and influence had long been forgotten, in the OPEN SPACE. The First World War, personal strokes of fate and a mental illness ended her career early; in 1941 she became a victim of the National Socialist "euthanasia" crimes. It is only now that her work is receiving greater attention again.
