In his paintings, we encounter a modern artist who, with his belief in the power of color, can be regarded as one of the founding fathers of modern painting.

Despite the broad appreciation that Schönfeld's paintings received during his lifetime, the art-historical reappraisal of Johann Heinrich Schönfeld's oeuvre was a long time coming. In 1967, the first and so far only academic exhibition on the work of this artist took place in Ulm. Since then, no other exhibition project has dealt with Schönfeld's artistic oeuvre.

The exhibition at the Zeppelin Museum Friedrichshafen will provide the first opportunity to get to know Schönfeld's work in depth against the background of the still incomplete research on the artist. Parallel to the Friedrichshafen exhibition of the paintings, the Prints and Drawings Collection of the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart will present Schönfeld's drawings and prints.

A collective scholarly catalog will be published to accompany the exhibition.
