Kupferstich-Kabinett: Rembrandts Mark

Die Porträtskizze eines Mannes mit aufgerissenen Augen.

Rembrandt's Mark

Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669) was one of the most innovative artists of all time. Three-hundred-and-fifty years after his death, his works still captivate through their vibrancy and his free, unerring mark. Rembrandt’s ‘mark’ is not only his individual hand but also the deep impression he has made on subsequent art practice.

DATES 14/06/2019—15/09/2019

The Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden possess an outstanding collection of Rembrandt’s prints, drawings, and paintings. Complemented by significant international loans, the Kupferstich-Kabinett’s exhibition casts fresh light on this adventurous ‘artists’ artist’. The exhibition presents about 100 works from Rembrandt’s entire career in dialogue with about 50 etchings and drawings of selected contemporaries and later artists who perceived him as an authority and a source of inspiration.

Artists ranging from Samuel van Hoogstraten, Benedetto Castiglione, Francisco de Goya, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Kathe Kollwitz, Pablo Picasso, to A.R. Penck, Gerhard Altenbourg, Marlene Dumas and William Kentridge have all used Rembrandt as a springboard for their own creativity.

On the occasion of Rembrandt’s Mark, the Prague-based artist Adela Součkova has directly engaged with its fundamental subject of the ‘self’ and created a large spatial installation Ancestors Uploaded in the foyer of the Kupferstich-Kabinett. In the Studiolo, a video work by de Rijke/de Rooij opens the view towards the present. This work is juxtaposed with a group of paintings by Rembrandt’s circle, making it clear that questions about habitus and individuality continue to be posed in visual art today.
