19th and 20th century
The Museum Folkwang offers visitors an impressively complete overview of 19th century German and French painting and sculpture. Its focal points are German Romanticism; late classicist ‘heroic’ landscapes and French landscape painting, Neo-Impressionism and Pointillism.
Unique works by van Gogh, Cezanne, Gauguin and Matisse, forerunners of modernism, lead to German Expressionism and the various currents of 20th century art such as Cubism, Abstraction and Concrete Art, Abstract Expressionism, Informal Art and New Figuration.
Overview
The collection today contains around 600 paintings, sculptures and objects.
