Mixed Devotions
Ellen Akimoto, Jörg Ernert, Moritz Götze, Eckart Hahn, Hiroyuki Masuyama, Nguyen Xuan Huy, Wieland Payer, Manuela Sambo, Hans-Christian Schink and Raïssa Venables

Classical European art flourished twice: in antiquity and in modern times. Its technical mastery and narrative qualities are unique in the history of human art.
 
Since the early 20th century, the avant-garde has reigned supreme. However, many artists do not want to do without complex content and precise expression and - in various ways - pay homage to classical art.
 
Ellen Akimoto, Jörg Ernert, Moritz Götze, Eckart Hahn, Hiroyuki Masuyama, Nguyen Xuan Huy, Wieland Payer, Manuela Sambo, Hans-Christian Schink and Raïssa Venables devote themselves to Vittore Carpaccio, Lukas Cranach, Caspar David Friedrich, Leonardo da Vinci and others.
