Harmony Hammond | Chenille #11, #12, 2021

Oil and mixed media on canvas

The artist takes scraps of textile, accompanied by their various histories, and creates a new body out of these fragments. Imbued with the lives lived by the materials used, Hammond’s paintings reveal a layered history of touch. The painting is a body that has been in physical contact with Hammond over and over, the touch at times gentle, at other times rough.

8/11” Alcohol Ink on photo paper This piece has been in my drafts for a couple weeks. Now, it’s totally appropriate to share. I have the worst flu I’ve ever had! I’ve been confined to my bed for literally four days. We can’t afford for my husband to get sick since he’s the only one supporting us, so I’m staying isolated. My 102 fever finally broke this morning, it’s a start. It’s gonna be a…

Her life and art commands respect and recognition: despite personal blows of fate, the hardships of war and a life often lived on the breadline, Louise Rösler developed her work with incredible perseverance. Over 30 years after her last retrospective at Haus am Waldsee Berlin, the Museum Giersch up until 25 August shows a comprehensive exhibition with works from all of Rösler’s work phases, a long overdue appreciation of an often marginalized women artist.

Throughout much of her career Rösler dealt with the fascination of the metropolis, its dynamism and how its face changes with the passing seasons. But her first steps as an artist were deeply influenced by French art: after studying at the private Hans Hofmann school in Munich and the Vereinigte Staatsschulen in Berlin Rösler and her future husband Walter Kröhnke went to France, a sojourn during which she soaked in the art of Matisse, Cézanne, Derain and Seurat. Upon returning to Berlin in 1933 she again engaged with the metropolis just like she had done in Paris and found her very own style of portraying it: based on impressions collected during long walks around the city Rösler created emphatic cityscapes that were neither impressionist nor expressionist but uniquely individual spatial compositions. In the postwar years Rösler condensed these spatial constellations into fully abstract compositions that dealt with the light and pace of the city, first in collages of found materials and later in increasingly rhythmic paintings.

Her stringent artistic development and difficult personal life also come to life in the catalogue published alongside the exhibition by Wienand Verlag which features a broad chronological selection of artworks and four insightful essays. Of them Laura Domes’ stands out based on the emphatic analysis of Rösler’s transitory time in Königstein im Taunus, a time characterized by economic hardships but also great creativity and the artist’s leap towards abstraction.

With both exhibition and catalogue the Museum Giersch provides a great opportunity to discover a little-known yet exceptional protagonist of modern art in Germany whose art can easily compete with her male contemporaries.
