Paula Modersohn-Becker,
Making
Modernism is the
first major UK exhibition devoted to pioneering women working in Germany in the
early 1900s: Paula Modersohn-Becker, Kӓthe Kollwitz, Gabriele Münter and
Marianne Werefkin.
Celebrated in their native
homelands, this exhibition will introduce their innovative paintings and works
on paper, alongside key pictures by Erma Bossi, Ottilie Reylaender and Jacoba
van Heemskerk.
The exhibition reframes
subjects such as self-portraiture, still-life, the female body, depictions of
childhood, landscapes and urban scenes through the experiences and perspectives
of these ground-breaking artists who – although less familiar than their male
counterparts, such as Wassily Kandinsky – were no less central to the
development of radical new approaches to art in Europe.
Bringing together 65 works,
many never seen in the UK before, Making Modernism foregrounds the
individuality of each artist whilst shining a spotlight on the strong
affinities between them. Combining impressive, bold and intimately-scaled
works, this exhibition explores themes of identity, representation and
belonging – all powerfully relevant today.
Our Friends preview days take place on Thursday 10
November, 10am-6pm, and Friday 11 November, 10am-9pm».
