Werefkin’s oeuvre highlighted in NL

Now on view: An interesting retrospective of Marianne von Werefkin (1860-1938) in Museum de Fundatie in Zwolle. Above a self-portrait as a confident artist, painted in her studio in Blagodat near Kaunus (then Russian Empire) in 1893. After a painting break of 10 years (1896-1906) in which she experienced a personal and artistic identity crisis, she surprised many a person with work in a completely different, expressionist style in Munich (D). Her artist’s brain had never been idle! Her later work made in Ascona (CH) where she permanently settled in 1918, again had a completely distinct signature.
