The painter Franz Lenk was one of the outstanding representatives of New Objectivity painting and a new romanticism at the end of the 1920s. Even though he was only able to celebrate greater artistic success in Berlin after 1926, his artistic training and his early work link him to Dresden. In the period after the Great Depression, his dignified, often quiet and nature-loving paintings struck a chord with the times.

We present an overview of Franz Lenk's work with landscapes, still lifes and portraits from over 20 public and private collections, supplemented by works by Otto Dix from his joint work with Franz Lenk in the 1930s and from the group Die Sieben (The Seven), which was associated with Lenk and included Franz Radziwill, Franz Radziwill, Franz Dix, Franz Radziwill, Franz Radziwill and Franz Dix. franz Radziwill, Georg Schrimpf and Alexander Kanoldt also belonged to.
