You are invited to  a series of talks on the life and work of the German painter. In the first talk, Eduardo Vázquez Martín, director of Colegio de San Ildefonso, and Gertrudis Zenzes, Ernst Saemisch’s widow and president of the association named after him, will discuss the artist’s life, they will share personal experiences, historical moments the painter lived through, reflections on his work, his influences and art in Germany and Mexico.

Later, in February, a second talk will feature two experts on Saemisch’s work, Fernando Gálvez and Carlos Blas Galindo. They will explore the aesthetics and creative processes of Ernst Saemisch, analyzing abstraction and musicality in his paintings.

On March 15, María Minera will talk about artistic avant-gardes and their connection to Saemisch’s work. In April, a series of guided tours will be led by Eugenio Caballero, the exhibition’s curator,  who will share his personal experience with Saemisch’s painting and the process of creating the exhibition.
