Hanna Nagel

Hanna Nagel, a German illustrator, painter, and draughtswoman, was recognized for her critical examination of gender roles and societal norms, particularly focusing on the experiences and representation of women. Hanna Nagel's early works were marked by a patriarchal critique, delving into issues of discrimination and societal conditions faced by women. She studied at the Badische Landeskunstschule Karlsruhe and later at the Vereinigte Staatsschulen für Freie und Angewandte Kunst in Berlin under the guidance of Emil Orlik.

Hanna Nagel's art often featured the female figure, exploring themes of dependency, power dynamics, and the complex roles of women in society. Her style evolved from sharp caricature to a more nuanced and dreamlike representation, with works like "Woman in Blue Dress" exhibited at The Metropolitan Museum of Art reflecting this transition. Throughout her career, she also contributed significantly to book illustration, adding depth to literary works with her expressive visuals.
