In this article some insights into Palma de Mallorca and the temporary exhibition of Willi Baumeister´s paintings and drawings that can be seen in Palma until December 10th of this year.

This exhibition shows nearly 50 paintings and 25 drawings by Willi Baumeister (1889-1955), one of the most important figures of the avant-garde movements in Germany. The works date from 1910 to 1950 and  provide an overview of the creation of German artist and most come from the artist's legacy, kept in the Archiv Baumeister del Kunstmuseum Stuttgart.

Willi Baumeister is one of the German artists who had the courage and strength to safeguard the ideas and hopes of modernity against the political oppression of Nationalism and the bankruptcy the Second World War assumed; during post-war years he was able to set the foundations for the future development of visual arts. In line with modernity, Willi Baumeister embraced all forms of art: his work and teaching go beyond the classical fields of painting, drawing and graphic art, he specially masters decorative arts, typography and theatrical scenery. Willi Baumeister was not only a German artist, his influence, professional relationships and friendships transcended geographical borders and came from Germany to other countries such as Spain, Switzerland and Italy.

The exposition is available in Palma until December 10th 2011.
