Max Römer's paintings of Madeira in Calheta

Exhibition open since March 15 until November 30, 2013

Max Römer lived four decades in Madeira, however, only a privileged few were actually aware of the vastness of his work.

This exhibition is unprecedented insofar as it displays to the public many of his unpublished works. Furthermore, it brings to light distinct qualities and versatile skills developed over the years by Max Römer, such as advertising, graphic work and religious paintings of an impressive scale.

An option based on the determination to make this exhibition a worthy contribution to better the understanding of this German painter, bom in Hamburg that sought Madeira Island in the early nineteen hundreds, where he settled to prove himself and his remarkable passion for art.

His watercolours emerge as the most referenced and divulged among the array of works produced. This exhibition patents and reconfirms that reality but also acts as a wicket door allowing for an insight in relation to other aspects of the creation of Max Römer that have never been revealed.

Commissioner: António Rodrigues

Exhibition open since March 15 until November 30, 2013:
Tuesday - Sunday from 10h00 to 18h00
