Fighting with the old for the new
As a representative of modernism, Dora Hitz (1853-1924) had a decisive influence on the Berlin art scene at the turn of the century. She belonged to the avant-garde art scene and was a founding member of the Berlin Secession with Max Liebermann.

Dora Hitz made a name for herself as a portraitist and taught budding artists in her own painting school. She was shown in the most important German exhibitions and was networked throughout Europe. Although she was one of the most respected German painters around 1900, her work and biography have largely been forgotten.
To mark the 100th anniversary of her death on 20 November 2024, the Liebermann Villa will present the first special exhibition on Dora Hitz since 1925 in autumn 2024.
In collaboration with guest curator Rahel Schrohe, Prof. Dr Claudia Blümle from the Institute of Art and Visual History at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and the Bröhan Museum with Dr Sabine Meister, the curator of the collection, Hitz and her contributions will be presented to the Berlin public.
The exhibition is accompanied by a richly illustrated catalogue.
