ERICH HECKEL or German Expressionism
A magnificent exhibition in Ghent (Belgium)
At the end of 2024, the Museum of Fine Arts Ghent (MSK) dedicated an exhibition to the German artist Erich Heckel (1883-1970). Heckel was one of the leading figures of German Expressionism and a co-founder of the artists' association Brücke.
From the end of the 19th century, young artists in Germany resisted the fleeting nature of Impressionism. In Dresden, the Brücke artists' association was founded in 1905. The 22-year-old Erich Heckel was one of the co-founders. This association of self-taught artists aimed to express strong joie de vivre in a common style of bright colors and angular forms. This style is called Expressionism: the artist tries to convey inner emotions through form and color rather than objective reality.
At the outbreak of World War I, Heckel was in his early thirties. Nevertheless, he already enjoyed a solid reputation in Germany. During the war, he became acquainted with Flanders. As a nurse for the Red Cross, he traveled to Ghent, Roeselare, and Ostend. On the hospital train, assembled by Walter Kaesbach, a curator of the Berlin National Gallery, were other painters and writers. As a result, the emergency hospital at Ostend station grew into a true artists' colony. Heckel met James Ensor there and developed a special friendship with his fellow nurse, the young poet Ernst Morwitz, whose literary world had a significant influence on his visual work.
During the war, Heckel's artistic activities continued. Between their shifting duties, the members of the artists' colony had enough time to devote to their art. In addition to several paintings, many gouaches, watercolors, drawings, and graphic works have been preserved: views of Roeselare, Ostend, and Ghent, sometimes featuring picturesque figures and bathers, but also still lifes, landscapes, and seascapes.
Despite the historical context, Heckel's stay in Flanders extended beyond World War I. Heckel was not a 'war artist' but a nurse working mainly behind the front lines. As a draftsman, he made numerous sketches of the places he visited and the people he observed. As a painter, he was particularly impressed by the Flemish landscape and the North Sea, with their unique cloud formations where light always tries to break through; motifs that seemed both foreign and familiar to him. The Flemish landscapes reminded him of the early days of the Brücke, when Heckel and his friends Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Karl Schmidt-Rottluff would go out to paint en plein air.

Sculptures in wood by Albert Müller, Herman Scherer and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. Interesting to see these and how they related to their paintings and the primitivism that influenced there 2D art.
"The pause during which the entire world halts in its orbit. Your face embodies all the beauty of the world. Your lips, as crimson as a ripe fruit, are half open as if to express pain. A corpse's smile. Here life and death shake hands. The chain that links thousands of past generations to the thousands to come has been meshed." (E. M.)

Paul Klee, Münchenbuchsee 1879 - Muralto 1940
Rosengarten - Rose Garden (1920)
Lenbachhaus, München
Paul Klee war als Maler und Grafiker tätig und sein vielseitiges Werk ist dem Expressionismus, Konstruktivismus, Kubismus, Primitivismus und Surrealismus zuzuordnen.
____
Paul Klee hat um 1920 in einer Reihe von Werken gewachsene und gebaute Strukturen zu einem rhythmischen Bildganzen verschmolzen. "Rosengarten" ist zweifellos das bedeutendste von ihnen. Bereits in dem für Klee so wichtigen Thema des Gartens ist das zweigesichtige Prinzip künstlicher, gestalteter Ordnung und des natürlichen, organischen Wachstums enthalten. Im "Rosengarten" bilden unregelmäßige schmale, von filigranen schwarzen Linien eingefasste Rechtecke, im Zentrum des Bildes auch zurückspringende Trapezformen, ein 'gemauertes' horizontales Zeilengefüge, das sich vollständig aus der Parzellierung der lebendigen, differenziert gegeneinander gesetzten Rottöne entwickelt. Die Rotschattierungen der kunstvoll arrangierten Natur überziehen auch die über das ganze Bild verteilten pavillonartigen Architekturen mit spitzen Dächern, in denen die horizontale Quaderung des Gartens lediglich um einige Grade gestrafft ist. Die rhythmisch verteilten Rosen mit ihren kugeligen, zu Spiralen gerollten Blütenköpfen – für Klee stets ein Symbol des Wachsens und Sprießens – ragen wie Notenköpfe auf geraden Stielen aus den horizontalen Bändern.

In the realm where dreams blend with reality, "Whispers of the Dreaming Soul" emerges as a profound exploration of the ethereal dance between the conscious and the subconscious. Through vibrant hues, daring shapes, and emotive textures, this collection invites you on a journey deep into the heart of human emotion, where the lines between the seen and unseen are beautifully blurred. Each piece serves as a gateway to understanding the unspoken dialogues within us, offering a unique perspective on the continuum of existence. As you immerse yourself in this exquisite display, allow the whispers of the dreaming soul to guide you through a landscape of inner discovery and transcendental beauty.
Poem:
Upon the Canvas of the Night
In strokes of shadow, bursts of light,
A dreamer paints the soul's flight,
Where fears and hopes in colors bright,
Entwine in dance, dispel the plight.
In depths where silent whispers dwell,
Beneath the conscious, surface swell,
Emotions in rebellion yell,
Yet in the chaos, beauty's spell,
Weaves tales that only art can tell.
A journey through the heart's domain,
Where joy meets sorrow, pleasure, pain,
And through the tempest, calm again,
The canvas holds, in every stain,
The essence of the dreamer's reign.
Within this realm, no boundaries known,
Where seeds of unseen worlds are sown,
Expression's purest form is shown,
And through such art, we're gently thrown
Into realms to us, previously unknown.
Haiku:
Dreams weave through the void,
Colours blend, emotions swirl,
Souls speak without words.

The 'Floating Heads' installation by Sophie Cave are from Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum in Glasgow, which I recently visited for the first time, despite living near the city for the last few years.
The picture in the comments shows them in a more accurate context of where they are in the gallery layout. Quite an unusual sight!
