Artists

Paul Klee, Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Rene Magritte et al.

The Kunstsammlung (Art Collection) Nordrhein-Westfalen in Düsseldorf, Germany, moved to its present location in 1986. Its highly prized collection of 20th century art is housed in a building known affectionately as "K20". The core of the collection consists of some 100 mature works by Paul Klee, but it also contains paintings by the other giants who were active at the beginning of the previous century, such as Picasso, Matisse, Chagall and Braque. In addition, it has extensive holdings of surrealists like Magritte and Ernst, or artists like Miró, without whom any discussion of art in the first half of the 20th century would be meaningless. With so many masterpieces by popular artists like Picasso and Klee on display in this exhibition, it becomes possible to see how the art of painting developed from the beginning to the middle of last century.
