Painter Rudolf Levy (1875-1944) was a central figure in the Munich and Paris avant-gardes, and enjoyed great success with his colourful portraits, landscapes and still lifes in Berlin during the 1920s, including in the legendary Flechtheim Gallery. When the National Socialists seized power, this brought his career to an abrupt end. After an odyssey of flight, Levy was able to settle in Florence, where his work reached a final impressive climax before his deportation and murder in Auschwitz concentration camp. The Pfalzgalerie Kaiserslautern is the first German exhibition house to dedicate a retrospective to the work and life of Rudolf Levy. The catalogue opens the perspective on an artist of European standing whose rich pictorial world can be rediscovered again and again. Contributions by renowned authors shed light on Levy's fate as a persecuted artist and as a persecuted Jew, on the artistic kaleidoscope of his time, his years in exi
Der Maler Rudolf Levy (1875-1944) war eine zentrale Figur der Münchner und Pariser Avantgarde und feierte mit seinen farbkräftigen Bildnissen, Landschaften und Stillleben auch im Berlin der 1920er-Jahre große Erfolge, unter anderem in der legendären Flechtheim-Galerie. Die Machtergreifung der Nationalsozialisten führte zu einem jähen Karriereende. Nach einer Flucht-Odyssee konnte Levy sich schließlich in Florenz niederlassen, wo sein Schaffen bis zur Deportation und Ermordung im Konzentrationslager Auschwitz einen letzten eindrucksvollen Höhepunkt erlebte.
Als erstes deutsches Ausstellungshaus widmet sich das Museum Pfalzgalerie Kaiserslautern in einer Retrospektive nun Werk und Leben von Rudolf Levy. Der Katalog öffnet den Blick auf einen Künstler europäischen Ranges, dessen reiche Bildwelt immer wieder neu zu entdecken ist. Beiträge namhafter Autorinnen und Autoren beleuchten Levys Schicksal als verfolgter Künstler und als verfolgter Jude, das künstlerische Kaleidoskop seiner Zeit, die Jahre im Florentiner Exil sowie die Rezeption und Re-Kanonisierung seiner Kunst in der jungen Bundesrepublik.
