CAROL RAMA

In the organizer's words:

Rama's depictions of female pleasure in the 1940s paved the way for today's feminist art

Sexuality, delusion, illness, death - these are the great human themes and elementary experiences to which Carol Rama (1918-2015) dedicated her art. She is one of the outstanding female artists of modernism who achieved fame late in life. In the 1940s, Rama paved the way for today's feminist art with her depictions of female pleasure. Independent of schools and artistic groups, she created an unconventional and very personal oeuvre over the course of around 60 years. Rama's work is characterized by a great love of experimentation and defies simple categorization. The SCHIRN is presenting the first comprehensive survey exhibition of the Turin-based artist in Germany, with works from all creative phases of her extraordinary oeuvre. On display are hauntingly expressive portraits, object montages in the surrealist tradition as well as abstract paintings and works made from industrial materials.
