Heinrich & Liesl Will. Kunst im Angesicht der Diktatur
In the organizer's words:
To mark the 130th birthday of Heinrich Will (1895 - 1943), the Museum für Gießen is presenting a special exhibition on the life and work of the painter and his wife Elisabeth "Liesl" Will (1901 - 1942).
From 1941, the couple met with like-minded people in Giessen for discussions and to listen to foreign radio stations - until the circle was exposed: Heinrich was executed after a show trial, Liesl died in Auschwitz.
In addition to the political dimension, the exhibition sheds light on Heinrich Will's artistic work. For the first time, many pictures from private collections and the museum depot will be made accessible.
