Werner Berg and Schmidt - Rottluff

There is a wonderful exhibition in the Werner Berg Gallery, in Bleiburg, Carinthia.
It features some of the work of Werner Berg (1904 - 1981 ) as well as of  Karl Schmidt-Rottluff. (1884 - 1976 )
The two artists, who never met person to person, lived at approximately the same time and practiced their art in an astonishing similarity of style.
