On 1 March, the painter Erika Streit celebrates her 100th birthday. Her early work has a special connection to Dresden, as she studied at the Dresden Art Academy under Richard Müller from 1930 to 1933 and later under Otto Dix. During this time, she intensively explored the image of man and the artistic language of New Objectivity and created numerous sensitive portraits and nudes. After spending time in Paris, Erika Streit returned to the Dresden Academy in 1939 and devoted herself once again to studying anatomy and mural painting until 1942. Until her move to Switzerland in autumn 1943, she once again produced a series of drawings and self-portraits that stylistically hark back to the early 1930s. The exhibition continues the presentation of artists from the circle of former Dix students that began with the works of Willy Wolff and Ernst Bursche.
