Patron of the National Museum in Szczecin: PKO Bank Polski Else Mögelin was one of the most important artists associated with interwar Szczecin. As a graduate of the then already famous Bauhaus, she brought innovative creative and didactic methods to Pomerania. From 1927 to 1942, she ran a textile studio at the Szczecin Municipal School of Crafts and Arts, renamed the Practical School of Design Work in 1930. This school worked closely with the City Museum under the management of Walter Riezler, who repeatedly presented the achievements of lecturers and students, promoting modern trends in art. The current exhibition brings the works of Mögelin and her circle together again in the same edifice - though for the first time for a wide Polish audience. From her youthful experiments in abstraction to the folkloric stylings of her mature or late years: her weavings, paintings and prints reflect her constant fascination with nature and the need for spiritual development in a changing landscape and political situation. The exhibition brings together more than 100 objects representing a variety of media and techniques from institutional and private collections. Almost all of the works are being shown for the first time in Poland, some of them making their international premiere. Mögelin's work is shown in the context of works by Friedrich Bernhardt, Theodor Bogler, Egon Engelien, Otto Lindig, Kurt Schwerdtfeger, Lotte Usadel, Wilhelm Wagenfeld and Vincent Weber, among others.Elaborated.
