Breakthrough - Women in Danish art from the 17th century to the present day

Anna Ancher, Franciska Clausen and Dea Trier Mørch are artists that most people probably know or have heard of. What about Christine Løvmand, Edma Frølich Stage, Anna Klindt Sørensen, Ludovica Thornam and Rita Kernn-Larsen – do these artist names resonate? They belong to the large group of women in Danish art who have stood in the shadow of their male colleagues, and who are now being brought to light – including through this book Breakthrough – so that we can get a more nuanced picture of Danish art history.

Based on many years of interest and collected knowledge about women in Danish art, art historian Eva Pohl presents a personal and perspective-giving overview.

Breakthrough provides insight into the pioneers' struggle to enter the art scene and break through, and presents important movements and connections between generations and inspiring artistic communities. From traditional flower paintings, model studies and portraits to experimental works that work with body, space and memory.
