“Whoever has youth on his side has the future on his side,” said Max Liebermann, who lived from 1847 to 1935, “and that alone is what counts.” In the 1870s, when he himself had youth on his side, Liebermann painted landscapes in a way that felt entirely new: his brushwork was energetic and he used intense, glowing colors that created the illusion of movement. It was Impressionism, and from then on he helped set the tone for the avant-garde in the German Empire, where sun-drenched landscapes and atmospheric still lifes soon came to be painted. This exhibition brings together more than 100 such paintings, including works by Lovis Corinth, Philipp Franck, Eva Stort, and Liebermann. —Elena Clavarino
