Ewald Mataré (1887–1965) is one of the most important artists of the 20th century in Germany. His career was shaped by the major political and social events of his time – the First World War, the Weimar Republic, the Great Depression and the National Socialist dictatorship.

Ewald Mataré was a painter, graphic artist and sculptor. His depictions of animals, in which the cow plays a central role, occupy a unique position in German sculpture of his time. “I can’t stop sculpting cows yet,” Mataré wrote in his diary. For years, he observed this animal – “without a single thought, completely intuitive”. He sketched and experimented to achieve the desired pure plastic form.
The exhibition at Kunsthaus Dahlem is dedicated to this thematic focus – with over 70 works, it illustrates the formal and aesthetic development of the cow and other animal sculptures in Mataré’s artistic oeuvre.
