STUDIO VISIT MAXIMILLIAN MAGNUS WITH ART TOURS BELIN
Saturday, September 29th, 2pm-4pm
We’ll visit artist Maximilian Magnus in his beautiful studio space in Charlottenburg.
"The world is my stage, both with regards to the every day as well as to grand gestures: large paintings, complex stage design, international collaboration or teaching at my school is just as much part of my multi-layered artistic work, as the interior design of my flat or the preparing of my meal – I create aesthetic composition in each and every aspect of my life.(...)" Maximilian Magnus
