Description
Art collector, patron and arbiter - Hanna Bekker vom Rath (1893-1983) was a trailblazer for the artistic avant-garde and one of the most important female personalities in Germany during the pre-war and post-war modern periods. She was a friend of Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Alexej von Jawlensky, Ida Kerkorius and Paul Klee. This lavishly illustrated volume provides a lively picture of a remarkable woman.
A refuge for modernism - Hanna Bekker vom Rath (Bilingual edition) promoted the art of the Brücke artists and the avant-garde in a variety of ways. Even during the National Socialist era her "Blue House" in Hofheim served as an intimate space for exchanges and exhibitions for the artists who were her friends. After the war, she founded the Kunstkabinett in Frankfurt, the city's first postwar gallery, and she undertook numerous international journeys on behalf of modern art. The texts and images sketch a multi-faceted portrait of an "ambassador of art" and document the influence of her achievements.
