Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938). "Boats on the Elbe in Dresden," oil on canvas.
This week on Artworks, there is a special—if unlikely— connection between German expressionist art and Indiana University. WFIU’s Yael Ksander speaks with the curator of Pioneers and Exiles: German Expressionism at the Indiana University Art Museum, the first show in 35 years of the museum’s impressive holdings in German modernism. The curator and a university archivist will unravel the story of how art branded by the Nazis as “degenerate” found its way to Bloomington.
Also on the program, we’ll listen back to a conversation from December of 2011 when local kids performer Kid Kazooey stopped by the WFIU studios after the release of his CD Lullaby Christmas Carols.
