‘Women, in more or less abstract landscapes, are the subject of many of my works...There are biographical reasons for this - but I am also of the opinion that under today's production conditions, no female artist can spare herself the discussion about the relationship between her art and her gender, it is a necessary part of her work.’
Sarah Schumann (GER, 1933-2019), was a Surrealist feminist artist who was based in Berlin until her death in 2019. A figurative painter and collagist, Schumann drew on her personal life as a queer artist to create heroic depictions of women in post-war Europe.
