Museum's Levy Exhibit Draws in Hordes of Visitors
In a remarkable turn of events, the Museum Pfalzgalerie Kaiserslautern in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, has seen an unforeseen level of interest in its exhibition of works by painter Rudolf Levy, who tragically lost his life during the Holocaust. Steffen Egle, the director of the museum, proudly declared to the German Press Agency that the event was "overwhelming," drawing in visitors from afar and beyond their typical 100-kilometer radius.
The exhibition, aptly titled "Rudolf Levy - Magician of Color," marks the first comprehensive retrospective devoted to this German-Jewish artist's vibrant, dramatic, and luminous works. After six weeks, the turnout had already surpassed the museum's average annual attendance. Furthermore, a significant increase in weekday visits was observed, which, if the trend continues, could end the year with a record-breaking attendance.
The success of this exhibition has created an "exceptional energy" within the museum, as per Egle. Visitors have been engaging with the exhibit in various ways, providing feedback in the visitors' book, via email, and in person. The gallery team's pride in their achievement is evident when Egle concludes that they have struck a chord with the exhibition's narrative and the focus on Levy's life story.
Born in Stettin in 1875, Levy moved to Paris in 1903, where he studied alongside Henri Matisse's great German students, including Hans Purrmann from Rhineland-Palatinate. After the First World War, Levy thrived in Berlin but was forced to flee to France, Italy, and the USA due to the persecution of Jews. He returned to Europe in 1937 and was ultimately arrested in Florence in 1943, leading to his tragic demise at the Auschwitz extermination camp on February 6, 1944.
The Kaiserslautern exhibition features around 70 works from various sources, such as the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart and the Museum of the Lost Generation in Salzburg. Levy is often referred to as the "forgotten master of modernism."
