Campaign for Primavera Siciliana |
||||
Hess’ sketches for the “Primavera Siciliana” (Sicilian Spring) to promote tourism in Sicily clearly show the strong affection and attachment which the artist felt for the island and its people, who welcomed him so warmly during his exile there in the 1930’s. Hess fled Munich to escape Nazi persecutionafter first the banning and then the dissolution of the Juryfreie Movement of radical young artists of which he was a leading member.
