30 particularly famous for his character drawings,
repeatedly explored the subject of
bathers from the 1920s onwards. He observed
people on the beach, in bathing institutions,
while dressing and undressing,
sunbathing and in the water.
• Josef Hegenbarth und Max Schwimmer.
Zeichnungen und Illustrationen
(Josef Hegenbarth and Max Schwimmer.
Drawings and Illustrations)
17th July – 11th September 2008
Josef-Hegenbarth-Archiv
Hegenbarth and Schwimmer were associated
by a shared love of literature. Nevertheless,
the styles of the two artists are
very different. Whereas in his illustrations
Hegenbarth developed an increasingly
succinct, abstract and ultimately emblematic
image vocabulary, Schwimmer retained
the fabulating power of line as the
connecting element. This exhibition demonstrated
the fascinating contrast between
the two artists’ styles.
• Jana Morgenstern. Steine. Arbeiten auf Papier
(Jana Morgenstern. Stones.
Works on Paper)
25th September – 11th December 2008
Josef-Hegenbarth-Archiv
On the northern coast of the island of Rügen,
Dresden artist Jana Morgenstern discovered
a theme which has engaged her attention
for the past few years: stones. The exhibition
presented a selection of her graphic
works on this theme produced since 2006.

terms of cultural history. The exhibition

time.

• Baustelle Heimat
(The Building Site called Home)
17th May – 26th October 2008
Museum für Sächsische Volkskunst,
Jägerhof
The concept of ‘home’ is currently the
subject of much debate, especially in the
discussions about globalisation, regionalisation
and the extension of borders.
To mark the occasion of the 100th anniversary
of the Landesverein Sächsischer
Heimatschutz e.V. (Saxon Society for Protection
of the Homeland), the Museum
für Sächsische Volkskunst invited visitors
to an informative, interactive exhibition
where they could explore this concept
and subject it to critical scrutiny.

Collection)

Museum für Sächsische Volkskunst,
Jägerhof
Friederike and Karl-Heinz Klebe have collected
more than 30 Bohemian carved
Christmas or Nativity scenes from the
19th and early 20th centuries. Visitors
were enchanted by the delightfully naive
depictions of “oriental architecture” and
the wealth of carved figures.
