Radical: Women Artists and Modernism 1910-1950
Discover the profound impact female artists have had on the world of modernism, enriching and transforming it. Radical - Women Artists and Modernism 1910-1950 celebrates women artists who pushed boundaries in the first half of the twentieth century. Museum Arnhem, the Saarlandmuseum in Saarbr眉cken, and the Belvedere in Vienna have joined forces to curate an extraordinary exhibition exploring the relationship between gender, art, and modernism.
Radical! Women Artists & Modernism 1910-1950 challenges the notion of modern art as a linear development primarily driven by men. The exhibition turns the spotlight on sixty innovative women artists from twenty countries who made seminal contributions to the evolution of modernism. It dismantles the idea of a succession of avant-garde movements and extricates women artists from an art-historical framework that played a key role in their slide into obscurity. By throwing the individuality of each artist鈥檚 practice into relief, it draws attention to the diversity and the international dimension of visual art in the twentieth century and opens up novel perspectives.
