Summary: | Oskar Reinhart's significance as a collector is due not least to the fact that, after 1920, he was one of very few people who continued to devote their attention to 19th century German artists - at a time when, internationally, French Impressionism had firmly established itself as the sole threshold to Modernism. It is therefore not surprising that the paintings and drawings at the Museum am Stadtgarten, which opened in 1951, are regarded as the most important body of 19th century German art to have been assembled outside Germany. Exhibition: Museum Oskar Reinhart am Stadtgarten (19.02.2009 - 1.8.2010).
