Exploring Steampunk

Steampunk collage!

8/8″ Paper collage on canvas This piece started when my husband asked me what “steampunk” was. It’s kind of hard to describe, so I started looking up images to show him, and then, naturally, I was inspired to do a collage, so here you go! I just realized this is my 900th published post! That means there are thousands of paintings that I haven’t posted yet, I better get…

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.

Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun (French, 1755 - 1842) Life Study of Lady Hamilton as the Cumaean Sybil, 1792 The Met Museum

Emma Hamilton (1765–1815) rose from the lowest rank of society to the peak of distinction by marrying, in 1791, Sir William Hamilton, English ambassador to Naples. There she was famous for her “attitudes”—tableaux vivants performed before swooning audiences who felt themselves transported back to antiquity.
