In our twenty-first episode, we are at the Landesmuseum Mainz. The exhibition ‘Auf zu neuen Werken – Max Slevogt und sein Verleger Bruno Cassirer’ is open until March 8, 2026. Kevin Schneider from Deutscher Kunstverlag talks to Dr. Karoline Feulner, curator of the exhibition ‘Auf zu neuen Werken’. In the podcast, she answers questions such as: What characterizes Slevogt’s impressionistic style? Which book illustrations did he publish with Bruno Cassirer Verlag? And what made the Romanisches Café in Berlin so special?
Max Slevogt, the famous German impressionist, is celebrated by his contemporaries as the ‘king of illustration.’ This special exhibition is the first to focus intensively on his unique collaboration with Bruno Cassirer, Berlin’s most influential publisher during the Weimar Republic, which established his reputation. The majority of Slevogt’s extensive and highly innovative illustrations were published by this publishing house.
