Making Modernism
(November 2022 - February 2023)
Making Modernism is the first major UK exhibition devoted to pioneering women working in Germany in the early 1900s: Paula Modersohn-Becker, Kӓthe Kollwitz, Gabriele Münter and Marianne Werefkin.
Celebrated in their native homelands, this exhibition will introduce their innovative paintings and works on paper, alongside key pictures by Erma Bossi, Ottilie Reylaender and Jacoba van Heemskerck.
The exhibition reframes subjects such as self-portraiture, still-life, the female body, depictions of childhood, landscapes and urban scenes through the experiences and perspectives of these ground-breaking artists who – although less familiar than their male counterparts, such as Wassily Kandinsky – were no less central to the development of radical new approaches to art in Europe.
Bringing together 65 works, many never seen in the UK before, Making Modernism foregrounds the individuality of each artist whilst shining a spotlight on the strong affinities between them. Combining impressive, bold and intimately-scaled works, this exhibition explores themes of identity, representation and belonging – all powerfully relevant today.

Another wonderful artist with a far too brief life. What is it, some kind of devil's bargain — you get ferocious talent, but then you die young?

Werefkin held a salon at her home in Munich which became a hub for avant-garde artists and patrons. Some scholars have suggested that this scene may include a self-portrait. The figure in the foreground recalls writer Elizabeth Erdmann-Macke's description of meeting Werefkin: 'Whenever she waxed passionate about something' she 'began gesticulating threateningly...she was an exceptionally strong, spirited personality full of revolutionary spirit against all things timid and lukewarm.'

1-DSC_9216-3 Skulptur Mutter und Kind auf dem Grabdenkmal von Paula Modersohn-Becker in Worpswede; angefertigt 1907 vom Bildhauer Bernhard Hoetger. © www.christoph-bellin.de Worpswede ist eine mitten im Teufelsmoor gelegene Gemeinde im Landkreis Osterholz in Niedersachsen. Der Ort ist bekannt für die 1889 gegründete Künstlerkolonie Worpswede als Lebens- und Arbeitsgemeinschaft von Künstlern. Während der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus unterstützten ein Teil dieser KünstlerInnen mit ihrem Heimat- und Naturkult.
Allen voran Fritz Mackensen, Carl Uphoff und Martha Vogeler (geb. Schröder), die der völkischen Idee huldigten und sich den Nationalsozialisten andienten, während sich politisch Linke wie Heinrich Vogeler und Gustav Regler, der Vogelers Tochter Marie geheiratet hatte, zur Emigration gezwungen sahen. Heinrich Vogeler schloss sich der antifaschistischen Bewegung in Moskau an - nach dem deutschen Überfall auf die Sowjetunion 1941 wurde er wie viele andere Deutsche unter Zwang evakuiert und kam elend in Kasachstan um. Der Worpweder Künstler Fritz Mackensen war in der Nazi-Zeit ein angesehener Künstler, wurde 1944 von Hitler in die Gottbegnadeten-Liste der wichtigsten Maler aufgenommen, war Vorstandsmitglied im Deutschen Künstlerbund und erhielt noch 1953 das Verdienstkreuz / Steckkreuz der Bundesrepublik Deutschland.
Charakteristisch für Worpswede sind heute die historischen Bauernhöfe, die einst den Ortskern bildeten, die schmalen Kopfsteinpflaster-Straßen und die ungewöhnliche Architektur vieler Häuser, sowie die sechs Museen. Auf einer Fläche von ca. 76 km² leben etwas mehr als 9200 EinwohnerInnen; ca. 300 000 Touristen besuchen Worpswede pro Jahr.

From the museum label: Werefkin travelled regularly to see art and visit relatives, painting this work in Kovno, Lithuania, where her brother was a military commander. Werefkin repeatedly painted crowds and street scenes, often focusing on the lives of women (albeit from her position as a member of the elite class). The lighting effects suggest the passage of time while the recurring, rhythmic forms of the hunched figures evoke solidarity in the face of daily routine.
