So Long, Marianne
August 12th, 2010

Annemarie Schwarzenbach by Marianne Breslauer, 1931

The Berlinische Galerie is showing a retrospective of Marianne Breslauer and the timeless woman on the poster has been haunting me as I walk around the city. Having just returned from the exhibition, postcards in bag, I would recommend it highly. A vision of a time when (admittedly weatlthy) androgynous women were depicted as feeling comfortable with themselves and their role in a changing world. Truly striking.
