Museum Ludwig

Dear ArtTalkers,

In a world where male artists have traditionally dominated the spotlight, the powerful and inspiring stories of female artists are finally being celebrated for their significant contributions to art history.

Until the end of the First World War, women in Germany were not allowed to study at state art academies, and their creative aptitude was publicly questioned 🫤 Even in Paris, where art education was more accessible, female artists faced significant challenges in the early 20th century. Many women, such as Marie Laurencin and Suzanne Valadon, pursued their artistic education in Paris, often struggling to gain recognition and access to the same opportunities as their male counterparts.

Despite these adverse circumstances, many female artists were an important part of art making and innovative dialogues ⚡💪🏻

At the September 6th ArtTalk, I invite you to be inspired by the extraordinary stories of these artists and find out how the increasing recognition of female artists is gradually rewriting 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.
  • Cultural Appreciation: Gain a deeper appreciation for how these artists’ unique viewpoints have enriched the cultural tapestry of their time and beyond.

Art Selection: Please note that the selection of artworks for this ArtTalk will depend on what is currently on display at Museum Ludwig. This ensures a dynamic and relevant discussion based on the originals. More details coming soon 😉
