The work displayed in this exhibition highlights his artist \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0endeavors as a mature artist after previously experiencing two world wars, the chaotic Weimar Republic, the crimes of the Third Reich, and the division of Germany, which refashioned Dresden and Eastern Germany into the German Democratic Republic (Deutsche Demokratische Republik, DDR) as a communist Soviet Satellite State. Despite living through this turbulence and the shifting rigidity of censorship on culture in the DDR, Gl\u00f6ckner was able to find contentment and even optimism within the seemingly disconsolate political, economic, and social conditions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Further reading:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.
