BIELEFELD.- The Kunsthalle Bielefeld is presenting about one
hundred and eighty works as part of a comprehensive survey of
German Impressionism, an art movement that spread throughout the
entire country. Starting with the major Berlin artists Max
Liebermann, Max Slevogt, and Lovis Corinth, the show ranges over
the many northern, eastern, southern, and southwestern
variations of German Impressionist painting. Distinctions will
be drawn between German and French Impressionism, and viewers
will come to see that German Impressionism was an independent
modern movement and a forerunner of Expressionism. The Bielefeld
show will feature works on loan from such museums as the Musée
dOrsay in Paris, the Kunstmuseum St. Gallen, the Neue Pinakothek
in Munich, the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, the Hamburg Kunsthalle,
the Saarland Museum in Saarbrücken, the Galerie Neue Meister in
Dresden, and many other public and private collections. The
