Art Sees Red – Works from Picasso to Warhol

Red is the most intense and oldest of all colours in art. Physically, red is the colour with the lowest energy, with a light wavelength of approximately 700 nanometres. Psychologically, however, red is considered a colour of immense power, symbolism and dynamism.

In this exhibition project, we are seeing red – in the truest sense of the word. In art, the colour red carries many meanings. It is the colour of lovers, of struggle, of strength, of fire, of warning, of passion and of emotion. The motif behind the colour is therefore decisive in determining which associations it evokes.

Red runs like a common thread through the works on display, spanning art movements of the last one hundred years, with works by: Max Ackermann, Werner Berges, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dalí, Friedrich Einhoff, Max Ernst, Erich Heckel, Wassily Kandinsky, Roswitha Küffner, Fernand Léger, Joan Miró, Pablo Picasso, Serge Poliakoff, Antoni Tàpies, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Victor Vasarely, Andy Warhol and others.

All works are kindly on loan from Galerie Sundermann FineArt, Würzburg.
