Max Pechstein. Expression of Harmony
Part of ArtHopping | 1 April unril 15 June 2025
Dive into the expressionist work of German painter Max Pechstein (1881–1955).

His vibrant and dynamic compositions capture an era of profound change in European society and have had a lasting impact on modern art. Through more than fifty paintings, as well as drawings, woodcuts, photographs, and personal objects from the artist, you and your class can explore his extensive oeuvre and gain insight into the personal life of Max Pechstein at the Kunsthal.

This legendary spider, known from centuries-old West African, Surinamese, and Caribbean folktales, also shines in the child-friendly picture books by author Iven Cudogham (1977, Paramaribo). Through the vibrant illustrations of the Moldybyrd Studio collective and hands-on creative activities, the exhibition brings to life the rich stories and history of Anansi.

How has something so charming—big eyes, chubby baby cheeks, flowers, and sweets—gained such influence? The exhibition reveals how cuteness can serve as a powerful lens for addressing social and cultural themes.
