Cityscape/Townscape

Karl Schmidt-Rottluff and Edouard Manet—each among the most avant-garde artists of his day—depict their hometowns shortly after a period of war. Manet looked down from his Parisian studio on a national holiday. Schmidt-Rottluff used flattened forms and colors divorced from reality to represent his small hometown in Germany not long after World War I.
 Listen as curator Jon Seydl compares these paintings by two leading modern artists.
