Women of the Avant-garde

Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek

8 Avant-garde women artists and their wide-ranging artistic works as a unified totality for the first time. The aim is to present the similarities, differences and relationships in the life and work of these artists and to widen the perspective on the historical Avant-garde in the Europe of the 1920s and 1930, to shed light on new facets and to show how this group of artists made crucial contributions to the aesthetic innovations that took place in those years in cities like Berlin, Zurich and Paris.

The exhibition Women of the Avant-garde 1920-1940 presents these eight Avant-garde women artists and their wide-ranging artistic works as a unified totality for the first time. The aim is to present the similarities, differences and relationships in the life and work of these artists and to widen the perspective on the historical Avant-garde in the Europe of the 1920s and 1930, to shed light on new facets and to show how this group of artists made crucial contributions to the aesthetic innovations that took place in those years in cities like Berlin, Zürich and Paris in particular.

Some 200 works are included in the exhibition showing the variety of aesthetic movements from Dada through Constructivism to Surrealism, and the presentation attempts to show and to put into perspective similarities and connections among the artists in question, who expressed themselves in painting, photography, collage, design, film and sculpture. The exhibition is both thematic and biographical, and it pinpoints the distinctive careers and characteristics of the artists.
