Moderne en hedendaagse kunst in Mannheim

Mario von Bucovich (1884–1947) was one of the most important portrait photographers of the 1920s. He significantly shaped the German-speaking illustrated press, particularly in the field of glamour photography. Among his portraits are famous personalities such as Marlene Dietrich, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Leni Riefenstahl. He was also a pioneer of modern metropolitan photo books. His 1928 published Berlin book was a remarkable bestseller and is still considered the most received Berlin image volume to this day.

The Poetics of Silence: Shimpei Yoshida's paintings explore the threshold between figure and abstraction, featuring recurring motifs of backs or faces of imaginary people from a found German family album. His unique technique blurs contours and transforms the surface into an ethereal substance, with light playing a crucial role in inviting viewers to engage intimately with the artworks.
