1928 Brünn Solo Exhibition

In March 1928 György Rauscher held what was, as far as the record shows, his only solo exhibition, at the Deutsches Künstlerhaus in Brünn (Brno). Almost every work sold, and the show brought further portrait commissions (/bibliography#szamado-2019, pp. 12-13).

The exhibition

Announcement of the Mahrischer Kunstverein special exhibitions, Brunn, 4 to 25 March 1928, listing Georg Rauscher — **The Mährischer Kunstverein's special exhibitions at the Künstlerhaus, Brünn, 4-25 March 1928.**Four concurrent solo showings; "Georg Rauscher, Budapest: Ölgemälde" heads the list. Reproduced in Számadó 2019.

The Deutsches Künstlerhaus was the exhibition house of the German art society of Moravian Brünn. The success there, reported home in the Komáromi Lapok of 13 March 1928 (/bibliography#komaromi-lapok-1928-03-13), came months before Rauscher’s move to Berlin, and reads as the threshold to his Berlin years (see /biography/berlin-years).

Reproduced in Számadó 2019.

A documented gap

The Brünn exhibition is well attested in the Hungarian sources, but no German-language or Czech-language Brünn press coverage of it has yet been located. The local German daily of the time was the Tagesbote, where a review may survive; anything a reader can add is welcome through /corrections.
