Land of Legends – The North German Realists in Brittany I Land der Legenden – Die Norddeutschen Realisten in der Bretagne

The artists’ group “Norddeutsche Realisten” took the 60th anniversary of the town twinning between Kiel and Brest as an opportunity to paint the magical landscape of Brittany and now exhibit it at the Künstlermuseum Heikendorf. The group traveled to 5 different places in Brittany in 2022 and 2023 to capture the unique landscape on canvas in the open air. They include Margreet Boonstra, Brigitta Borchert, Tobias Duwe, André Krigar, Mathias Meinel, Lars Möller, Frank Suplie, Till Warwas, Corinna Weiner and, as guests, Ulrich Gleiter, Janko Göttlicher, Hermann Reimer and Björn Wirtz. As there is not enough space for the 180 or so pictures in the museum, some of the works can be viewed at the same time in the Förde Sparkasse in Kiel at Lorentzendamm 28 during opening hours.
