German Émigré Artists in Britain, 1933 – 1945
Collectively known as the ‘Hitler émigrés’, refugee artists, predominantly of German-Jewish origin, made “forced journeys” to Britain between 1933 and 1939, including celebrated artists Frank Auerbach, Lucian Freud, Oskar Kokoschka and Kurt Schwitters.
In this three-session course, Ben Uri Gallery & Museum Director Sarah MacDougall examines the political and cultural conditions that caused their exile, and the careers and legacies of these German émigré artists in Britain.
