Art Nouveau and Symbolism. Georg Lührig: A Master from Dresden

Georg Lührig (1868–1957) was among the artists who dominated Dresden’s art scene at the turn of the century, incorporating the trends of Art Nouveau and Symbolism into a mysterious, fascinating visual language of their own. Lührig’s oeuvre is characterised by considerable diversity of both form and content. He experimented with different materials and techniques, including charcoal, pencil, watercolour, and lithography.

The exhibition in Wiesbaden and the richly illustrated catalogue document the work of an artist who is ripe for rediscovery – with small studies on paper, large-format oil paintings, and monumental frescoes created as commissioned works for public buildings; also included are still lifes, landscapes, animal depictions, and portrait works.
