Hermann Hesse the painter
Museum Hermann Hesse Montagnola, 17.30
Lecture

With Volker Michels.
During the first world war, following the advice of his psycotherapist, Hermann Hesse began to express his dreams through images and thus discovered his talent for drawing and painting. During long and difficult studies as autodidact, Hesse, at that time fourty, developed his skill stimulated by the colours of Ticino, his adoptive country. Volker Michels, editor of the work by Hermann Hesse for Suhrkamp Publishers, will illustrate and explain the audience the development of this artistic aspect.

Museum Hermann Hesse Montagnola
Exhibition

The exhibition offers an opportunity to explore into the lives of three women artists, who have been consi­­dered, up to now, as having had a marginal role in Hesse's life and work. They all, however, each in their way, conferred on the years between Klingsor and Siddhartha their own peculiarity as well as an intense fullness of life. The exhibition shows the works of the three artists, testifying their relation­ship with Hermann Hesse and offering an insight on their biography. Catalogue in German and Italian with texts by Eva Zimmermann and Simona Ostinelli.
