Journal:
Card: I used to come here a few times a week when I went to school. They had free admission for students. There was always a lot of construction work going on at home and so it was more efficient to do my homework here. I spent a lot of time there looking at the exhibits. Most of all I loved the Paul Klee paintings they had.

Wilhelm Lehmbruck (* January 4, 1881 in Duisburg, March 25, 1919 in Berlin) was a German sculptor. The foundation Wilhelm Lehmbruck Museum excels with a unique collection of international Modern Sculpture.On 5000 square meters the world of sculpture and the sculptures of the world meet. The AMAZING collection is of course focussed on the work of Wilhelm Lehmbruck and the art of his times.
Monographically and thematically themed rooms include painting, work on paper and new media. The Stiftung Wilhelm Lehmbruck Museum - Center for International Sculpture is a museum in Duisburg, Germany.
Sculptures by Wilhelm Lehmbruck, after whom the museum is named, make up a large part of its collection. However, the museum has a substantial amount of works by other 20th century sculptors, including Ernst Barlach, Käthe Kollwitz, Ludwig Kasper, Hermann Blumenthal, Alexander Archipenko, Raymond Duchamp-Villon, Henri Laurens, Jacques Lipchitz, Alexander Rodtschenko, Laszlo Péri, Naum Gabo, Antoine Pevsner, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí and Max Ernst. This is complemented by a considerable number of paintings by 19th and 20th century German artists Lehmbrucks sculptures mostly concentrate on the human body and are influenced by Naturalism and Expressionism. Most of his sculptures express agony and the feeling of misery, they are usually made up as
anonymous figures and there are no visible individual facial features. His works, including female nudes, have been known for an elongation common to Gothic Architecture.
