AND AT THE ROYAL ACADEMY
12 November 2022 — 12 February 2023
Discover the trailblazing women hidden from the history of
20th-century Modernism.
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 Heemskerck.
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.
