This exhibition organised in collaboration with the Von der Heydt Museum in Wuppertal, the origin of the loans, presents a selection of 78 works by 38 artists whose work falls between the careers of Hans von Marées (Elberfeld, 1837-Rome, 1887) and Pablo Picasso (Málaga, 1881-Mougins, 1973).

Despite the fact that the collection has had a troubled history, particularly after the Second World War, its current state is the result of very specific artistic interests and endeavours that have been alive since the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries in the two former towns of Elberfeld and Barmen, which were later to be merged into Wuppertal.

Among the paintings from the museum's current collection on view in the exhibition are works by Édouard Manet, like The Fisherman (about 1862); by Paul Cézanne, such as The Hermitage at Pontoise (1881); by Edgar Degas, such as Dancers in the Foyer (about 1895-96); and by Paul Gauguin, such as Still Life with Exotic Birds (1902). These four canvases show the different directions taken by Impressionism and its subsequent legacy. Salvador Dalí's True Image of Arnold Böcklin's "Island of the Dead" at the Hour of the Angelus (1932), a work full of references, opens our gaze onto Surrealism. The exhibition also presents works by such key 20th-century artists as Max Beckmann, Otto Dix, Wassily Kandinsky, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Franz Marc, Edvard Munch and Emil Nolde, among many others.
