What happened in 1920s Cologne 'after Dada'? Whilst most standard
accounts of Cologne Dada simply stop with Max Ernst's departure
from the city for a new life as a surrealist in Paris, this book
reveals the untold stories of the Cologne avant-garde that
prospered after Dada but whose legacies have been largely forgotten
or neglected. It focuses on the little-known Magical Realist
painter Marta Hegemann (1894-1970). By re-inserting her into the
histories of avant-garde modernism, a fuller picture of the
gendered networks of artistic and cultural exchange within Weimar
Germany can be revealed. This book embeds her activities as an
artist within a gendered network of artistic exchange and influence
in which Ernst continues to play a vital role amongst many others
including his first wife, art critic Lou Straus-Ernst;
photographers August Sander and Hannes Flach; artists Angelika
Fick, Heinrich Hoerle, Willy Fick and the Cologne Progressives and
visitors such as Kurt Schwitters and Katherine Dreier. The book
offers a significant addition to research on Weimar visual culture
and will be invaluable to students and specialists in the field. --
