German artist Angelika Hoerle created an outstanding body of work before her untimely death at the young age of 23. This show explores how Angelika and her works connect to artistic and political movements of post-World War I Germany. As Angelika and her artist friends sought to affect political and social change during these turbulent times, she emerged as a key figure in Cologne’s Dada art scene. Her story is intensely personal and reveals how her artistic drive and political conscience could not be thwarted by war, social conventions, or fatal illness.
