Radical!

The catalogue examine the relationship between gender, art and Modernism. It will focus on the question of what kinds of stylistic and visual imagery were developed by women artists in response to the social change, political upheaval and technical innovations of the first half of the last century. The works in the exhibition can be considered as not only bearing witness to rapidly advancing industrialisation, urbanisation and technological development but also reflecting the complexity and contradictions that came with emancipation and evolving gender roles. Featured artists include Gertrud Arndt, Louise Bourgeois, Claude Cahun, Benedetta Cappa, Elizabeth Catlett, Sonia Delaunay, Maya Deren, Friedl Dicker-Brandeis, Alexandra Exter, Leonor Fini, Trude Fleischmann, Erika Giovanna-Klien, Natalia Goncharova, Hannah Höch, Käthe Kollwitz, Lotte Laserstein, Tamara de Lempicka, Alice Lex- Nerlinger, Jeanne Mammen, Marlow Moss, Hanna Nagel, Alice Neel, Anton Prinner, Gazbia Sirry, Sophie Taeuber-Arp, Dorothea Tanning, Charley Toorop, Toyen, Madiha Umar, Fahr-El-Nissa Zeid.
