Exhibition: Political Pictures. Soviet photographs 1918-1941. The Daniela Mrazkowa Collection
Political Pictures. Soviet photographs 1918-1941. The Daniela Mrazkowa Collection
In April 2008 Museum Ludwig – with the help of the State Government of NRW, the Kulturstiftung der Länder, the Kunststiftung NRW and the City of Cologne – succeeded in aquiring the Daniela Mrazkowa Collection. The collection comprises 234 works by the foremost Soviet photographers of the pre-war era. It brings together a broad range of the photographic currents of that time, while giving an outstanding overview of documentary photography and photojournalism in the Soviet Union. The range spans portraits of the intellectual heroes of the Soviet Union in the Pictoralist style of Nappelbaum and Sterenberg, Constructivist photography by for instance Ignatowitsch and Rodchenko, who focused on architecture and industrial innovations, and depictions of workers and the rural populace in the Socialist Realist style adopted by Zelma und Alpert.
Museum Ludwig: 17 October, 2009 to 31 January, 2010
