What is jeanne mammen?

Jeanne Mammen (1890-1976) was a German painter and illustrator known for her depictions of life in Berlin during the 1920s and 1930s. She was associated with the New Objectivity movement, which sought to portray the harsh realities of life in post-World War I Germany.

Mammen's work often depicted scenes of urban life, focusing on the struggles of women, social inequalities, and the changing role of women in society. She was particularly interested in capturing the spirit of the Weimar Republic and the diverse characters that populated the city of Berlin during this time.

In addition to her paintings, Mammen also worked as an illustrator for magazines and newspapers, creating vignettes that reflected the everyday lives of people in Berlin. She also designed costumes and sets for the theater.

Despite being recognized for her talent during her lifetime, Mammen's work was largely forgotten after World War II. However, in recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in her art, with several major retrospectives and exhibitions dedicated to her work.
