Deception and camouflage in art
Creating works of art that are indistinguishable from reality has always been a challenge. With around 150 works from the Old Masters to the present day, this exhibition spanning different eras shows that "illusion" means far more than just deceiving the eye. In view of the power of illusionist images, it also sheds light on our society against the backdrop of fake news and artificial intelligence. The catalog examines the different facets of the term "illusion". In addition to four essays, the exhibited works are commented on in detail. Literary excerpts and quotes, for example from Ovid, William Shakespeare, André Breton, Bertolt Brecht and Jean Baudrillard, underline the positions and emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of the topic.

»Das Museum kommt damit seiner wichtigsten Aufgaben nach: Es belehrt, verortet den Menschen in seiner Zeit, klärt auf über Sehgewohnheiten und schickt ihn mit neuen Erkenntnissen wieder auf den Weg.«
