Sammlung Barbara und Horst Hahn

Profile

(Profile only availible in german - translated by machine)

Barbara and Horst Hahn offer with their collection a remarkable view of photographic highlights of the 20th Century. Its content will focus on their collecting to images of people in their living environment. In addition, they are interested in the variety of photographic techniques. The viewer is thus an overview of the diversity of lifestyles - and also an amazing insight into the compositional possibilities of the medium. The thus doubly delightful journey through the history of photography is divided into four areas.

Incunabula of classic modern en photography art such as Man Ray , with its famous surrealist Rayographien and assembly, the Russian Constructivist Alexander M. Rodchenko and El Lissitzky , with its new objective camera art or the Bauhaus teacher Laszlo Moholy-Nagy offer with his almost romantic air painting a broad base.

The documenta ry photography is a second block, for example, with photographs by Erich Salomon , the Auschwitz murdered founder of the modern en German photojournalism, Dorothea Lange , who captured in the 1930s, the plight of migrants in the U.S., or by Hermann Claasen and Chargesheimer who held life in war-devastated Cologne since 1945.

A special highlight are the more than forty portraits of artists, some self-portraits that give the visitor a sometimes very personal insight into the lives of famous people - from René Magritte of Marlene Dietrich to Samuel Beckett.
