Memories from exile

The collector and publisher Thomas B. Schumann presents two books of memoirs by emigrants. Peter Spiro, the son of the leading Berlin portraitist and landscape painter Eugen Spiro until 1933, tells of the loss of his social life and his father’s problems in exile. Hugo Perls, the Berlin lawyer, philosopher, collector, patron and gallery owner, is also introduced. He cultivated numerous contacts with artists and met Pablo Picasso, Edvard Munch and Max Liebermann during his time in exile.
