Ferdinand Hodler
August 1954
The retrospective was organized jointly by the Kunstverein München and the Directorate of the Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen. After individual Hodler pictures had been shown for the first time in Munich in 1897, the society "Pro Helvetia" put together works from his entire life's work in this exhibition. The patronage was assumed by the Federal President Heuß and the President of the Swiss Confederation Rudolph Rubattel.
