German Revolution:
Expressionist Prints
10 April to 31 August
In the aftermath of World War One, the German
Revolution inspired a new wave of art in the
country. The burden of four years of war gave
rise to civil conflict and the Weimar Republic.
This exhibition draws on Glasgow’s Hunterian
Art Gallery collection for 75 dramatic prints
created by German-based artists, including
Edvard Munch and Egon Schiele. The works
addressed the political, moral and sexual
struggles faced by civilians at this time.

BERGGauguin and the
Impressionists
29 March to 14 June
It is easy to forget that the
beloved Impressionist artists
were originally a group of
radical painters, who threw
the stiff rules of traditional
atelier painting to the wind.
Instead, Manet, Monet,
Morisot and co. stepped
outside the studio and used
delicate brushstrokes to
capture transitioning light
and gentle modulating colour.
Danish collectors Wilhelm
and Henny Hansen were alive
to their greatness, amassing
the world-class Ordrupgaard
Collection, from which these
60 paintings are drawn.
Masterpieces by the
forerunners of Impressionism
and eight works by Post-
Impressionist master Paul
Gauguin also feature.
