The Leopold Museum is dedicating the first comprehensive exhibition to the celebrated star of the film and theater Tilla Durieux (1880–1971). Durieux was a modern woman of the 1920s who was politically active and whose roles were as varied as the list of artists who portrayed her – among them Auguste Renoir, Lovis Corinth, Franz von Stuck, Max Slevogt, August Gaul, Emil Orlik, Ernst Barlach, Olaf Gulbransson, Max ­Oppenheimer, Oskar Kokoschka, Frieda Riess, Charley Toorop, Sasha Stone, Lotte Jacobi and Mary ­Duras. The presentation Tilla Durieux. A Witness to a Century and Her Roles is the first to explore the fascination the Vienna-born and Berlin-based actress held already for her contemporaries, and to follow the traces of this scintillating personality through portraits of all media.
