Holding a rich stock of paintings and sculptures the main focus of the collection is art of the 20th century. The Staatsgalerie Stuttgart consists of three buildings that reflect different notions…

Later on she spent two years studying Chinese calligraphy that became a very formative influence on her style and which also taught her concentration,…
