• Between Impressionism and Expressionism, Weisgerber is an important and deservedly rediscovered figure in Modern Art.
• As early as 1906, the Neue Pinakothek in Munich and the Städtische Galerie in Frankfurt am Main purchased his works.
• In 1912, he had exhibitions at Paul Cassirer in Berlin, the Kunsthaus Zurich, and the Sonderbundausstellung in Cologne.
• In 1913, Weisgerber was a founding member and president of the “Neue Münchner Secession” (New Munich Secession), which also included Alexej von Jawlensky, Paul Klee, and Alexander Kanoldt.
