Schicksalslinien
Der Maler Fritz Schaefler und sein Sammler Joseph Heymann

Die Landschaften, Akte, Porträts, Genreszenen und Stillleben des expressionistischen Malers und Grafikers Fritz Schaefler (1888-1954) bestechen mit ihrer leuchtenden Farbigkeit und ausdrucksstarken Formgebung. In Bayern geboren, zog er 1927 nach Köln. Begeistert von Schaeflers faszinierenden Bildwelten sammelte und förderte der rheinische jüdische Industrielle Joseph Heymann (1887-1954) den Künstler, der Porträts der Familie Heymann anfertigte und Farbdesigns für deren Wohnstätten gestaltete.
Mit der Machtergreifung der Nationalsozialisten stand ihre Welt Kopf: Als „entartet“ eingestuft und 1937 in der Ausstellung Entartete Kunst ausgestellt, wurden Schaeflers Werke aus deutschen Museen entfernt und zerstört. Heymann, der nun um sein Leben fürchten musste, flüchtete 1937 mit seiner Familie nach Großbritannien. Es gelang ihm, seine Kunstsammlung – darin auch die Arbeiten von Schaefler – ins Exil zu retten. Der in Köln verbliebene Nachlass Schaeflers wurde erst in den 2010er Jahren wieder mit der Sammlung Heymann zusammengeführt. Beide befinden sich heute bei den VAN HAM Art Estates Köln.
Schicksalslinien befasst sich mit den gebrochenen Biografien der zwei Männer, die, wenn auch an sich einzigartig, doch exemplarisch für so viele stehen. Die Ausstellung zeigt das beeindruckende Œuvre Schaeflers in seiner ganzen Vielfalt, legt aber einen Fokus auf die Sammlungsinteressen Heymanns, die nun wieder in den größeren Kontext des Nachlasses eingeordnet werden können. Sie erzählt von gemeinsamen Interessen und Berührungspunkten, wie der Liebe zur Stadt Köln, dem Karneval und der Beziehung zum Bergischen Land, und zeichnet in Briefen und Dokumenten das Schicksal der Kunstsammlung Heymann bis zur Rückkehr nach Deutschland nach.
Die Ausstellung findet in Kooperation mit den VAN HAM Art Estates Köln statt.
What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
