Her upper-middle class family was outraged: <i>\u201cHaving a daughter who wanted to become a painter was almost like having a daughter become a prostitute,\u201d<\/i> recalled her nephew and biographer Peter Funke. But headstrong Helene, the only girl among five siblings, refused to be tied down and managed to escape the patriarchal confines of her parental home. Women were refused admission to the State Academy of Arts, so instead Funke went to the Damen-Akademie, where she studied alongside Gabriele M\u00fcnter for two years \u2013 until the academy became too provincial for her developing tastes.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"block block-standard-image block-standard-image-medium\"  data-parallax='{\"child\":\".image-wrapper\",\"mask\":\".lazy-media\",\"masking\":true,\"breakpoint\":{\"tablet\":true,\"desktop\":true},\"full\":{\"y\":[-15,15]}}'> <!-- data-motion-parallax='{\"child\":\".image-wrapper\",\"mask\":\".lazy-media\",\"tween\":{\"yPercent\": [-15,15]}}' -->\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-10 col-md-9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<lazy-media-inline inline-template>\n\t\t\t<figure itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" class=\"lazy-media-inline \" role=\"group\" id=\"media_66376497e693b\">\n\t\t\t\t<script type=\"application\/json\" ref=\"data\">\n\t\t\t\t{\n\t\t\t\t\"sizes\" : {\"medium\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Foto-Paris-219x300.jpg\",\"width\":219,\"height\":300,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"large\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Foto-Paris-748x1024.jpg\",\"width\":748,\"height\":1024,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"thumbnail\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Foto-Paris-150x150.jpg\",\"width\":150,\"height\":150,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Foto-Paris-768x1051.jpg\",\"width\":768,\"height\":1051,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"1536x1536\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Foto-Paris-1122x1536.jpg\",\"width\":1122,\"height\":1536,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"small\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Foto-Paris-321x440.jpg\",\"width\":321,\"height\":440,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"semi\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Foto-Paris-424x580.jpg\",\"width\":424,\"height\":580,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"mobile\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Foto-Paris-526x720.jpg\",\"width\":526,\"height\":720,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"hd\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Foto-Paris-935x1280.jpg\",\"width\":935,\"height\":1280,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"original\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Foto-Paris.jpg\",\"width\":1388,\"height\":1900}},\n\t\t\t\t\"alt\" : \"\",\n\t\t\t\t\"path\" : \"\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/06\\\/\",\n\t\t\t\t\"video\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"autoplay\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"youtube\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"youtubelabel\" : \"Trailer abspielen\",\n\t\t\t\t\"brightness\" : 100,\n\t\t\t\t\"crop\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"background\" : false,\n\t\t\t\t\"scale\" : 1\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t<\/script>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"height-container\" style=\"padding-bottom:136.88760806916%; \" v-if=\"sizes\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<lazy-media :inline=\"true\" :alt=\"alt\" :sizes=\"sizes\" :scale=\"scale\" :brightness=\"brightness\" :path=\"path\" :video=\"video\" :autoplay=\"autoplay\" :youtube=\"youtube\" :crop=\"crop\" :youtubelabel=\"youtubelabel\" :background=\"background\"><\/lazy-media>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Helene Funke an der Pariser Seine<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">Courtesy Nachlass Helene Funke <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t<\/lazy-media-inline>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\t<section class=\"block block-headline margin-bottom-third\" >\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-offset-3 col-md-6\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class='stagger-item'>Montmartre as inspiration<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-copy  copy-small bg-no \">\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-offset-3 col-md-6\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"copy\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">Following initial participation in joint exhibitions in Munich and Berlin in 1904, two years later Funke moved to Paris, where she lived and worked in the heart of Montmartre. Elated by the city\u2019s modernity and her new-found freedom, she absorbed all the new artistic directions that were being explored at the time \u2013 in particular the fauvism of Henri Matisse and Andr\u00e9 Derain. Those influences were to fundamentally transform her own style of painting. Funke henceforth employed explosive colours and clear, decisive lines, applying the paint in thick layers. While in France she maintained close contacts to Germany, and from 1909 she took part in exhibitions in Chemnitz, Hamburg, Bremen, Mannheim and Vienna. She was also represented at the first exhibition of the K\u00fcnstlervereinigung Dresden.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"block block-standard-image block-standard-image-medium\"  data-parallax='{\"child\":\".image-wrapper\",\"mask\":\".lazy-media\",\"masking\":true,\"breakpoint\":{\"tablet\":true,\"desktop\":true},\"full\":{\"y\":[-15,15]}}'> <!-- data-motion-parallax='{\"child\":\".image-wrapper\",\"mask\":\".lazy-media\",\"tween\":{\"yPercent\": [-15,15]}}' -->\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-10 col-md-9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<lazy-media-inline inline-template>\n\t\t\t<figure itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" class=\"lazy-media-inline \" role=\"group\" id=\"media_66376497e71ae\">\n\t\t\t\t<script type=\"application\/json\" ref=\"data\">\n\t\t\t\t{\n\t\t\t\t\"sizes\" : {\"medium\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Akt-in-den-Spiegel-blickend_1908-238x300.jpg\",\"width\":238,\"height\":300,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"large\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Akt-in-den-Spiegel-blickend_1908-812x1024.jpg\",\"width\":812,\"height\":1024,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"thumbnail\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Akt-in-den-Spiegel-blickend_1908-150x150.jpg\",\"width\":150,\"height\":150,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Akt-in-den-Spiegel-blickend_1908-768x969.jpg\",\"width\":768,\"height\":969,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"1536x1536\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Akt-in-den-Spiegel-blickend_1908-1218x1536.jpg\",\"width\":1218,\"height\":1536,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"small\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Akt-in-den-Spiegel-blickend_1908-349x440.jpg\",\"width\":349,\"height\":440,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"semi\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Akt-in-den-Spiegel-blickend_1908-460x580.jpg\",\"width\":460,\"height\":580,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"mobile\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Akt-in-den-Spiegel-blickend_1908-571x720.jpg\",\"width\":571,\"height\":720,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"hd\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Akt-in-den-Spiegel-blickend_1908-1015x1280.jpg\",\"width\":1015,\"height\":1280,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"original\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Akt-in-den-Spiegel-blickend_1908.jpg\",\"width\":1405,\"height\":1772}},\n\t\t\t\t\"alt\" : \"\",\n\t\t\t\t\"path\" : \"\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/06\\\/\",\n\t\t\t\t\"video\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"autoplay\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"youtube\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"youtubelabel\" : \"Trailer abspielen\",\n\t\t\t\t\"brightness\" : 100,\n\t\t\t\t\"crop\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"background\" : false,\n\t\t\t\t\"scale\" : 1\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t<\/script>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"height-container\" style=\"padding-bottom:126.12099644128%; \" v-if=\"sizes\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<lazy-media :inline=\"true\" :alt=\"alt\" :sizes=\"sizes\" :scale=\"scale\" :brightness=\"brightness\" :path=\"path\" :video=\"video\" :autoplay=\"autoplay\" :youtube=\"youtube\" :crop=\"crop\" :youtubelabel=\"youtubelabel\" :background=\"background\"><\/lazy-media>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Helene Funke, &bdquo;Akt in den Spiegel blickend&ldquo;, 1908\/10<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">Courtesy Belvedere Kunstmuseum Wien \/ Foto: KOBERSTEIN FILM <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t<\/lazy-media-inline>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-copy  copy-small bg-no \">\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-offset-3 col-md-6\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"copy\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">In Paris, Funke ventured into the field of nude drawing \u2013 a pursuit that was taboo for women in Germany at that time. She created candid, deliberately non-erotic nudes, and this self-determined depiction of women was to become a favourite theme. Before long, Funke had established herself among the Paris avant-garde. She became a regular fixture in the Salons d\u2019Automne and Salons des Ind\u00e9pendants, exhibiting her works alongside those of Matisse, Braque, Vlaminck and Picasso. In addition to painting and graphic art, Funke became passionately interested in the fledgling art of photography. In the early years of the 20th century she created \u201cselfies\u201d with the newly-developed self-timer. This was a highly unusual practice at that time, and today those works are considered early examples of feminine self-portrayal in the field of photography.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"block block-standard-image block-standard-image-medium\"  data-parallax='{\"child\":\".image-wrapper\",\"mask\":\".lazy-media\",\"masking\":true,\"breakpoint\":{\"tablet\":true,\"desktop\":true},\"full\":{\"y\":[-15,15]}}'> <!-- data-motion-parallax='{\"child\":\".image-wrapper\",\"mask\":\".lazy-media\",\"tween\":{\"yPercent\": [-15,15]}}' -->\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-10 col-md-9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<lazy-media-inline inline-template>\n\t\t\t<figure itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" class=\"lazy-media-inline \" role=\"group\" id=\"media_66376497e783e\">\n\t\t\t\t<script type=\"application\/json\" ref=\"data\">\n\t\t\t\t{\n\t\t\t\t\"sizes\" : {\"medium\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Selbstportrait4-222x300.jpg\",\"width\":222,\"height\":300,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"large\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Selbstportrait4-757x1024.jpg\",\"width\":757,\"height\":1024,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"thumbnail\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Selbstportrait4-150x150.jpg\",\"width\":150,\"height\":150,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Selbstportrait4-768x1039.jpg\",\"width\":768,\"height\":1039,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"1536x1536\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Selbstportrait4-1135x1536.jpg\",\"width\":1135,\"height\":1536,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"small\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Selbstportrait4-325x440.jpg\",\"width\":325,\"height\":440,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"semi\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Selbstportrait4-429x580.jpg\",\"width\":429,\"height\":580,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"mobile\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Selbstportrait4-532x720.jpg\",\"width\":532,\"height\":720,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"hd\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Selbstportrait4-946x1280.jpg\",\"width\":946,\"height\":1280,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"original\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_Selbstportrait4.jpg\",\"width\":1404,\"height\":1900}},\n\t\t\t\t\"alt\" : \"\",\n\t\t\t\t\"path\" : \"\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/06\\\/\",\n\t\t\t\t\"video\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"autoplay\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"youtube\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"youtubelabel\" : \"Trailer abspielen\",\n\t\t\t\t\"brightness\" : 100,\n\t\t\t\t\"crop\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"background\" : false,\n\t\t\t\t\"scale\" : 1\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t<\/script>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"height-container\" style=\"padding-bottom:135.32763532764%; \" v-if=\"sizes\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<lazy-media :inline=\"true\" :alt=\"alt\" :sizes=\"sizes\" :scale=\"scale\" :brightness=\"brightness\" :path=\"path\" :video=\"video\" :autoplay=\"autoplay\" :youtube=\"youtube\" :crop=\"crop\" :youtubelabel=\"youtubelabel\" :background=\"background\"><\/lazy-media>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Helene Funke auf dem Dach eines Wiener Wohnhauses, 1912<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">Courtesy Nachlass Helene Funke <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t<\/lazy-media-inline>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\t<section class=\"block block-headline margin-bottom-third\" >\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-offset-3 col-md-6\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class='stagger-item'>An explosion of colour<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-copy  copy-small bg-no \">\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-offset-3 col-md-6\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"copy\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">In 1913 Helene Funke decided to take her life in a new direction. She left Paris for the \u201cfaded arts capital\u201d of Vienna. The avant-garde artist was a great hit in her new home, taking part in large exhibitions of the Vienna Secession, the Hagenbund, and the Wiener Kunstschau. In 1917 she participated in the VBK\u00d6 (Austrian Association of Women Artists) exhibition in Stockholm, where she enthralled Swedish critics with her unabashed nudes. They wrote that Funke\u2019s nudes<i> \u201cdemonstrate a pronounced indecency and an almost perverse emphasis of the sensual<\/i>.\u201d Funke also co-founded \u201cBewegung\u201d, a radical expressionist group, in 1918.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"block block-standard-image block-standard-image-medium\"  data-parallax='{\"child\":\".image-wrapper\",\"mask\":\".lazy-media\",\"masking\":true,\"breakpoint\":{\"tablet\":true,\"desktop\":true},\"full\":{\"y\":[-15,15]}}'> <!-- data-motion-parallax='{\"child\":\".image-wrapper\",\"mask\":\".lazy-media\",\"tween\":{\"yPercent\": [-15,15]}}' -->\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-10 col-md-9\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<lazy-media-inline inline-template>\n\t\t\t<figure itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" class=\"lazy-media-inline \" role=\"group\" id=\"media_66376497e7fd0\">\n\t\t\t\t<script type=\"application\/json\" ref=\"data\">\n\t\t\t\t{\n\t\t\t\t\"sizes\" : {\"medium\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_In-der-Loge-273x300.jpg\",\"width\":273,\"height\":300,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"large\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_In-der-Loge-930x1024.jpg\",\"width\":930,\"height\":1024,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"thumbnail\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_In-der-Loge-150x150.jpg\",\"width\":150,\"height\":150,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"medium_large\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_In-der-Loge-768x845.jpg\",\"width\":768,\"height\":845,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"1536x1536\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_In-der-Loge-1395x1536.jpg\",\"width\":1395,\"height\":1536,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"small\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_In-der-Loge-400x440.jpg\",\"width\":400,\"height\":440,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"semi\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_In-der-Loge-527x580.jpg\",\"width\":527,\"height\":580,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"mobile\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_In-der-Loge-654x720.jpg\",\"width\":654,\"height\":720,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"hd\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_In-der-Loge-1163x1280.jpg\",\"width\":1163,\"height\":1280,\"mime-type\":\"image\\\/jpeg\"},\"original\":{\"file\":\"Helene-Funke_In-der-Loge.jpg\",\"width\":1628,\"height\":1792}},\n\t\t\t\t\"alt\" : \"\",\n\t\t\t\t\"path\" : \"\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2021\\\/06\\\/\",\n\t\t\t\t\"video\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"autoplay\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"youtube\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"youtubelabel\" : \"Trailer abspielen\",\n\t\t\t\t\"brightness\" : 100,\n\t\t\t\t\"crop\" : null,\n\t\t\t\t\"background\" : false,\n\t\t\t\t\"scale\" : 1\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t<\/script>\n\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"height-container\" style=\"padding-bottom:110.07371007371%; \" v-if=\"sizes\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<lazy-media :inline=\"true\" :alt=\"alt\" :sizes=\"sizes\" :scale=\"scale\" :brightness=\"brightness\" :path=\"path\" :video=\"video\" :autoplay=\"autoplay\" :youtube=\"youtube\" :crop=\"crop\" :youtubelabel=\"youtubelabel\" :background=\"background\"><\/lazy-media>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"figcaption-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-label\">Helene Funke, &bdquo;In der Loge&ldquo;, 1904<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"lazy-media-image-description\">Courtesy Lentos Kunstmuseum Linz\/ Foto: KOBERSTEIN FILM <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t<\/lazy-media-inline>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-copy  copy-small bg-no \">\n\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-offset-3 col-md-6\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"copy\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">Despite positive reviews by critics \u2013 who wrote that Funke\u2019s works were a \u201c<i>true explosion of colour<\/i>\u201d \u2013 Funke\u2019s audacity in adopting an exceptionally modern style as a woman elicited hate-filled tirades in the press: \u201c<i>These images daubed crudely by a woman\u2019s hand like a bricklayer with his trowel are abhorrent<\/i>\u201d; \u201c<i>Women can never sire art, they can only bear it.

She supported herself by taking on cleaning jobs, and withdrew into her own private world. Although she had two exhibitions in 1948 \u2013 in Vienna and Welz \u2013 Funke had effectively fallen into obscurity. She died in 1957, in poverty and seclusion. The works she left behind were widely scattered, and it took her nephew Peter Funke 40 years to draw up a catalogue of her work. This catalogue led to a rediscovery of Funke\u2019s oeuvre, and in 1998 the first retrospective of her art took place in Vienna, followed by an exhibition in Linz in 2007. Thanks to the ongoing documentation of her works, a more comprehensive retrospective could be held in her hometown of Chemnitz in 2018.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":649,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lostwomenart.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist\/2639"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lostwomenart.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lostwomenart.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artist"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.lostwomenart.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist\/2639\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2643,"href":"https:\/\/www.lostwomenart.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist\/2639\/revisions\/2643"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lostwomenart.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/649"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lostwomenart.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
