Breslau, present-day Wroc\u0142aw) is a representative of the Jugendstil (Secession) movement and symbolic painting that flourished in around the turn of the 20th century. He created frescoes and large painting cycles on the themes of mythology, idealism and the Christian faith. He experimented in various fields, such as mural and easel painting and magazine illustration.<\/p>\n<p>Pfeiffer was closely involved in early 20th-century reform movements, and considered himself a strict vegetarian. In addition to his art-related activities, he also wrote philosophical texts and prepared several unique, comprehensive and somewhat atypical iconographic programmes for large-scale mural projects. This can especially be said about the painting done at the \u0160ilut\u0117 church in around 1925\u20131926.<\/p>\n<p>In 1910\u20131932 Pfeiffer served as professor at the Kunstakademie K\u00f6nigsberg. Alexander Kolde, Eduard Bischoff and Karl Eulenstein were among his students.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the artist\u2019s creative legacy was destroyed during bombing in 1943. Some of his earlier works and others created after 1945 have been preserved. In terms of his mural work, only the painting inside the \u0160ilut\u0117 Evangelical Lutheran Church exists to this day.<\/p>\n<p>Organisers: Pranas Dom\u0161aitis Gallery, East Prussian Regional Museum (Germany)<\/p>\n<p>Partner Scheu Hugo Museum in \u0160ilut\u0117<\/p>\n<p>Curators: Dr J\u00f6rn Barfod, Jan R\u00fcttinger<\/p>\n<p>Coordinator Aurelija Malinauskait\u0117<\/p>\n<p>Designer Edita Namaj\u016bnien\u0117<\/p>\n<p>Editor Dr Ilona \u010ciu\u017eauskait\u0117<\/p>\n<p>Translators: Albina Strunga (English), Regina Makauskien\u0117 (German)<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bilietai-pdg.lndm.lt\/\">Purchase an e-ticket<\/a>\u00a0for this exhibition<\/li>\n<li>Book a guided tour of this exhibition by phone\u00a0+370 46 410 421, email <a href=\"mailto:domsaicio.edukacija@lndm.lt\">domsaicio.edukacija@lndm.lt<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lndm.lt\/en\/pdg\/visiting\/\">Plan your visit<\/a> to the Pranas Dom\u0161aitis Gallery\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Richard Pfeiffer (b.
