Martha Liebermann (1857–1943) – Lebensbilder

from 25 Nov 2007 at Liebermann Villa · Berlin
This exhibition and accompanying catalogue shed light on the life of Martha Liebermann (1857–1943), wife of the celebrated German Impressionist painter Max Liebermann. Drawing on photographs, letters, and historical documents, the show reconstructs her biography against the backdrop of Wilhelmine and Weimar Germany, the rise of National Socialism, and the tragic fate she faced in her final years. Lebensbilder — literally "life pictures" — offers an intimate and historically grounded portrait of a woman whose story has long remained in the shadow of her famous husband.
