Summary

"Uncannily Real" presents more than 80 paintings from Realismo Magico, an Italian art movement from the 1920s. This movement is marked by evocative images of disturbing beauty. The works shift between melancholy and idyll, between a weariness with civilisation and the glorification of progress. Their application of paint is reminiscent of the Old Masters, and their motifs classical: still lifes, portraits, interior scenes, and nudes. The paintings depict their subjects clearly and sharply, and yet seem to conceal what is essential. This exhibition provides the first ever broad overview of Realismo Magico in Germany, featuring outstanding works by the main protagonists of the movement, ranging from Antonio Donghi, Felice Casorati, Gino Severini, and Edita Broglio through to more well-known artists such as Giorgio Morandi, Giorgio de Chirico, and Carlo Carrà.
