Dear ArtTalkers,

I’m excited to share with you the female artists that I discovered in Museum Ludwig! Artists we have not discussed previously 😉

For far too long, the stories of these artists have been overshadowed by their male counterparts. Today their significant artistic contributions are finally being acknowledged and in the next ArtTalk we’ll dive into this!

-Take, for instance, Paula Modersohn-Becker, whose intimate and pioneering portraits challenged traditional representations of women in a new way.

-Suzanne Valadon after her bad fall from the circus trapeze, turned to art. First as a model for the Impressionists and then as an artist in her own right.

-Or consider Sonja Delaunay-Terk, a pioneering artist who brought vibrant color and geometry to life through her bold works. She is the first female artist to have a retrospective exhibition at the Louvre Museum in Paris (1964), a significant recognition of her influence and contribution to the art world.

Join me on September 5th for an ArtTalk where we’ll get to know these fascinating artists better in front of the original works. Happy to share inspiring art stories with you and explore how the recognition of female artists is reshaping our understanding of art history.

What to Expect at the ArtTalk on September 5th in Museum Ludwig

• Insightful Discussions: Dive into the lives and works of these trailblazing artists and understand their impact on the art world.
• Networking: Meet fellow art enthusiasts, network, and share your perspectives at an after-ArtTalk refreshement
• Cultural Appreciation: Gain a deeper appreciation for how these artists’ unique viewpoints have enriched our cultural tapestry of their time and beyond.

Won’t you join us as we explore the remarkable contributions of European female artists of the early 20th centuries? Oh, yes, we’ll wrap up our ArtTalk with a big step into contemporary art and Yoko Ono💥😊

Artful greetings and sunny summer ☀️days!
