"The Sun Is Coming Back" with curator Melanie Ohst
To mark the 70th anniversary of the death of the Wustrow painter Erich Theodor Holtz (born in 1985 in Storkow/Mark—died in 1956 in Wustrow), the Fischlandhaus is dedicating a comprehensive retrospective to this artist. Erich Theodor Holtz belongs to the second generation of artists who discovered the landscape of the Baltic Sea peninsula Fischland-Darß-Zingst after World War I. Inspired by this little corner of the world between the Bodden and the Baltic Sea, he became almost exclusively a landscape painter. Holtz captured the Bodden landscape across different seasons and weather conditions. He took a particular interest in the appearance of the Bodden and the village in winter or during the transitional seasons. The sea and the dune landscape, on the other hand, served as subjects worthy of his brush at various times of day and night. The exhibition centers on atmospheric landscapes from various phases of his career, which impressively reflect his keen sense of light, atmosphere, and the unique character of the Fischland region. In addition, works from his early career are being shown for the first time.
The exhibition is a collaboration between the Fischlandhaus and the Kunsthalle Rostock.
The exhibition can be visited during regular opening hours through April 11, 2027.
Participation in the guided tour and admission to the exhibition are free.
