Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Painterly transformations of feminine identity from a group of German Expressionists. Kaethe Kollwitz, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Gabriele Muenter and Marianne Werefkin are among the exceptional artists associated with the emergence of Expressionism in Germany in the early decades of the 20th century. Each challenged prevailing ideals of feminine identity at a time of great societal change. As women, they were expected to marry and raise a family; some chose to, some did not. As ambitious artists, they wanted to work. As they rose to these challenges, their art further undermined conventions. Their portraits of children symbolise joy, hope and innocence but also melancholy, tension, curiosity, the passing of time and unfulfilled desire. Their radical depictions of the nude wrest the female body away from the male gaze towards a newfound role, expressive of powerful maternity and female subjectivity. These dramatic modernist compositions, with their fluid brushwork and bright hues, push at the boundaries of form, colour and spiritual meaning. AUTHORS: Dorothy Price is Professor of Modern and Contemporary and Visual Culture at the Courtauld Institute of Art. The painter Chantal Joffe RA is well known for her arresting portraits of women. Shulamith Behr taught for many years at the Courtauld Institute of Art. Sarah Lea is Curator at the Royal Academy of Arts. SELLING POINTS: . Includes insightful new texts by leading experts .
