From Caspar David Friedrich to Picasso – Masterpieces on Paper from the Von der Heydt Museum, Wuppertal

The Fundación Juan March rarely disappoints and presents a short but sweet encounter with many of European art’s leading figures from the last two centuries. The show concentrates on work done on paper, starting with visually strong pieces from Fridrich and Constable, continuing with Sisley, Degas, Cézanne and Van Gogh. Each are represented by several works. From the 20th-century come pieces by Picasso, Kandinsky, Mücher, Kirchner, Chagall and Klee, in watercolours, charcoal and crayon. The show underlines the importance of paper as a medium to all these masters.
