Rediscovered: Hanna Ahrens / Wiederentedeckt: Hanna Ahrens
Through a flea market find, the forgotten artist Hanna Ahrens (1903–1985), who lived in Worpswede for over 20 years, was rediscovered. Numerous paintings — still lifes, portraits, and genre scenes — as well as drawings have been uncovered in recent years.
After completing her studies, Ahrens settled in Worpswede in 1931. Despite drastic restrictions in her life due to political changes, she had to find her own path.
For the first time, her previously unknown work and dramatic life story are presented in their historical context.
