Artistic Freedom Threatened In Germany

Conclusion

The artists taking part in the “Free Spirits of Germany” exhibit have for many years been part of a vibrant German art community. Today, solely because they seek to practice their religion, their works are boycotted, banned or simply ignored.

Artistic and religious discrimination will not prevent them from creating, but, like Mr. Pelzig who remembers how great artists were expunged from Germany, they long for a free and truly democratic Germany which respects international human rights laws upholding freedom of religion. Ironically, Germany is one of the few countries whose constitution actually protects the freedom of artistic expression.

Despite the hate campaign, Mr. Lieser and the other artists exhibiting are determined to remain “Free Spirits of Germany.”
