Works by Agnes Werner and Hubert Pfeffer will soon hang next to each other in the Atelier Graficum in Peiting.
A memorial exhibition shows the works of the Peitingen artists, who both died last year.
Peiting - It's difficult to fit an entire artist's life into a single gallery.
With two of them, this task becomes doubly difficult, especially when their complete works are as impressive as those of Agnes Werner and Hubert Pfeffer: The Peitingen artist Peter Mayr is nevertheless happy to take on this challenge.
As part of a memorial exhibition - with the support of the families and the painting teacher Susann Tabatabai-Schweizer - he wants to show some works by Werner and Pfeffer, who both died last year.
The paintings and graphics will be on display on a weekend in April in Mayr's studio on Lorystrasse in Peiting.
A fitting location: after all, the artists, who both lived and worked in Peiting, were welcome guests at the Graficum.
Agnes Werner and Hubert Pfeffer: Works show the artists' view of the world
Agnes Werner, who primarily dealt experimentally with color and natural materials in her work, was a long-time participant in Peter Mayr's nude drawing seminar and “did a lot of cheeky things,” as Mayr remembers his former student and fellow artist with appreciation.
She died last November at the age of 85.
Hubert Pfeffer also knew the rooms on Lorystrasse well: last July he exhibited his caricatures at the “Glängende Vistas” show at the Graficum.
A few months later, Pfeffer also died, two days after his 77th birthday.
Agnes Werner was 85 years old.

Werner and Pfeffer, who both left behind a huge oeuvre, exhibited often during their lifetimes.
But never together, as their relatives say at a preparatory meeting for the exhibition.
“They probably knew each other, but they didn’t work together,” the family members are certain.

Agnes Werner wanted to capture the ephemeral with her work
When you look at the numerous works, only an excerpt of which can be shown in April, you quickly get an impression of how Werner and Pfeffer must have seen the world.
Both in their own way, but always with an understanding of what lies behind the obvious.
As a cartoonist, Pfeffer always discovered a humorous twist in social developments, which he pointedly put on paper - not least for years for the Schongauer Nachrichten.
In the past, Pfeffer had also been concerned with the reunification of Germany for a long time, as his brother Thomas explains.
An aspect that should be reflected in the memorial exhibition.

Agnes Werner also always looked closely at what was happening around her and then captured it in her own way.
Often abstract or abstract, often in large format.
“She always wanted to draw attention to objects that would otherwise not be seen,” says Eva Werner about her mother’s artistic approach.
“And she liked to show the ephemeral.”
The memorial exhibition
for Agnes Werner and Hubert Pfeffer can be seen on April 6th and 7th from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Atelier Graficum (Lorystraße 26 in Peiting).
