Was zu verschwinden droht, wird Bild. Mensch – Natur – Kunst
In the organizer's words:
It is a commonplace, frightening and fascinating at the same time: everything that has been captured in pictures no longer exists or no longer exists in the form depicted. In art, the theme of transience is often symbolized as a memento mori or melancholic meditation on the disappearance of things. Images of dreams, encounters with people and explorations of nature also show only fleeting moments. Sometimes the fleeting becomes the explicit subject of a depiction that nevertheless seeks to capture it: Clouds are constantly changing, snow soon melts, trees only bloom for a short time.
In times of climate change, the awareness that our entire environment is changing rapidly has become omnipresent. This is why we look at works of landscape art in particular with different eyes today. They show a nature that has always been influenced by humans. A landscape is no longer just a beautiful sight, but a threatened ecosystem.
The exhibition is built around such moments of recognition. It shows well-known as well as rarely or never before exhibited works from the 19th and 20th centuries from the collections of the Lenbachhaus, the Historischer Verein von Oberbayern, the Christoph Heilmann Foundation, the Munich Secession, the Gabriele Münter and Johannes Eichner Foundation, the KiCo Foundation and the Förderverein Lenbachhaus e. V. Art works with the ephemeral and with the knowledge of transience. In this it coincides with the idea of the museum, which collects and preserves works of art and also aims to communicate them.
