The special exhibition sheds light on the nearly 30-year collaboration between the painter and illustrator Max Slevogt and the publisher Bruno Cassirer – a creative partnership that contributed decisively to establishing Slevogt as a significant representative of German Impressionism. Cassirer's engagement as an actor in the cultural world gave Slevogt artistic freedom and promoted his innovative approaches in the field of the illustrated book. In particular, their shared passion for drawing opened up new design possibilities. With the founding of the influential magazine "Kunst und Künstler", Cassirer significantly shaped the art-theoretical discourse of his time. Together they created works that are today regarded as milestones of artistic book illustration.
