Celebrating PRIDE 2023! (June 2023)

in , , , /by
In recognition of 2023 Pride Month, STMA wishes to celebrate the self-affirmation, dignity, equality, and increased visibility of all those who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community!
.
Please visit the museum to view “Harald Kreutzberg (A German Dancer),” a 1978 acrylic painting which depicts famous gay German dancer of the same name. A study in contradictions, Kreutzberg was an artistic revolutionary, who unabashedly presented ‘gender bending’ modern work, while in his later career profited under the Nazi regime. While other gay men were imprisoned and forced to wear pink triangles, Kreutzberg was encouraged to tour throughout Germany and abroad, despite his relationship with Friedrich Wilckens, Kreutzberg’s composer, and piano accompanist. Also on view is, “Rhythm,” a 1932 bronze bust of Yvonne Georgi, a German dancer, choreographer, ballet master, and dance partner to Kreutzberg. For more information on these outstanding figures, visit the Steffen Thomas Museum of Art in Buckhead, GA!
