Storm Women

Der sturm signalled the awakening in modern art. Founded as a journal for the promotion of Expressionist art by Herwarth Walden in 1910, the name quickly became the trademark of a complete movement. Lesser known is that Walden also showcased numerous female artists. It is to them that the current publication is dedicated, which with nearly 300 artworks gathers together female proponents of, among others, Expressionism, Cubism, and New Objectivity: The art trends of the early twentieth century from a female perspective.
