Jeanne Mammen's watercolour images of the gender-bending 'new
woman' and her candid portrayals of Berlin's thriving nightlife
appeared in some of the most influential magazines of the Weimar
Republic and are still considered characteristic of much of the
'glitter' of that era. This book charts how, once the Nazis came
into power, Mammen instead created 'degenerate' paintings and
collages, translated prohibited French literature and sculpted in
clay and plaster-all while hidden away in her tiny studio apartment
in the heart of Berlin's fashionable west end. What was it like as
a woman artist to produce modern art in Nazi Germany? Can artworks
that were never exhibited in public still make valid claims to
protest? Camilla Smith examines a wide range of Mammen's dissenting
artworks, ranging from those created in solitude during inner
emigration to her collaboration with artist cabarets after the
Second World War. Smith's engaging analysis compares Mammen's
popular Weimar work to her artistic activities under the radar
after 1933, in order to fundamentally rethink the moral
complexities of inner emigration and its visual culture. While
Mammen's artistry is considered through the lens of gender politics
to reveal her complex relationship with the urbanisation of her
time, this book also highlights the crucial role played by a lost
generation of inner emigre women artists as agents of German
modernity. The examination of Mammen's life and work demonstrates
the crucial role women artists played as both markers and agents of
German modernity, but the double marginalisation they have
nonetheless encountered as inner emigres in recent history. It will
be of interest to students of German studies, art history,
literature, history, gender studies and cultural studies.
