Born in Berlin, and educated in France, Jeanne Mammen’s water colours and drawings had a considerable and lasting impact on our image of the ‘Golden Twenties’. As a precursor to the comprehensive Jeanne-Mammen-exhibition in the Berlinische Galerie from October 2017 onwards, the edited collection Jeanne Mammen: Paris – Bruxelles – Berlin was published by the Deutsche Kunstverlag. It is based on the international conference “Paris – Bruxelles – Berlin: French Elements in Jeanne Mammen’s Art” which was organised jointly by the Friends of the Jeanne-Mammen-Foundation and the Centre for French Studies, Freie Universität, in October 2014. The interdisciplinary contributions and the partly hitherto unpublished works of art throw a new light on the art and life of the painter and graphic artist (1890-1976).
