‘It seems that childhood is not the blissful idyll into which we distort it in retrospect’
– Sigmund Freud
This exhibition consists of a kaleidoscopic range of depictions of children from around the turn of the last century until the beginning of WW I. Images of children are products of their time and events of the period, expressions of societal, political and cultural situations that had an impact on how children and childhood were perceived. The works on display include pieces by Heinrich Zille, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Käthe Kollwitz, Emil Nolde, Edvard Munch, August Macke, Max Beckmann and from Fidus. This show portrays how societal and individual treatment of children could be depicted, thereby also demonstrating the range of artistic forms used around the turn of the last century.
