Perspectives on the artist Kurt Magritz

As part of the exhibition "Ellen Auerbach and Lea Grundig in Palestine" at the Museum Eberswalde, a lecture on the artist and architect Kurt Magritz, a friend of Lea Grundig, will take place on Saturday, 23 February 2025 at 3 pm.

Magritz was a close friend of Lea and Hans Grundig, whom he met in the circle of the ASSO (Association of Proletarian-Revolutionary Artists in Germany), which existed until 1933. The Grundigs became his closest friends and teachers, who supported him on his path to becoming an artist.

Dr Eckhard Gillen, curator of the exhibition, will give an insight into the artistic and friendly relationship between Grundig and Magritz under the title "How a friend becomes an enemy: Lea Grundig and Kurt Magritz and the Campaign against Formalism" will give an insight into the artistic and friendly connection between Grundig and Magritz. The lecture will take place in the presence of Mrs Magritz.

Interested parties have the opportunity to visit the exhibition at Museum Eberswalde, Steinstraße 3, until 27 April 2025. There will also be an extensive programme accompanying the exhibition in the coming weeks with guided tours, talks and films.
