Harald Metzkes is one of the most important artists of post-war modernism. During his artistic career, he has intensively explored the human figure and abstraction, developing a distinctive, expressive style in the process. His works are characterized by concise forms, powerful colour compositions and a deep engagement with social themes. The paintings and lithographs on display not only offer an insight into the development of his work, but also fit seamlessly into the history of German art in the second half of the 20th century.
