More than twenty years after the last exhibition devoted to his work, MASI Lugano dedicates an extensive retrospective to Richard Paul Lohse (Zurich, 1902 - 1988). This ambitious undertaking reiterates the seminal importance of Lohse and his work on an international level. Presenting more than forty paintings spanning the four fundamental decades of his career, from the 1940s until his death, the exhibition highlights the historical events and social utopias of the period which, along with Lohse’s faith in the expressive power of colour, shaped his rigorous modus operandi.
