Modernist movements in the twentieth century have widely been accepted as middle-class phenomena, driven by figures with the education, time, and financial resources to devote themselves to creative production. Yet, as the First World War shook up the social and economic stability of many, comfortable backgrounds no longer guaranteed support. Women, in particular, found themselves in a new situation, not only gaining new liberties in the post-imperial successor states but often also facing the need to make a living. How did this affect their creativity and access to artistic education and production? From privately sold goods made in the home to administrative work and wage labour, women artists in the 1920s and 30s followed various professions to support themselves, their (artist) partners, and their dependents. While some of this work was to make ends meet, other activities, such as journalism and editorial work, craftwork, teaching and photography, also played an essential role in developing their artistic practice. Taking this as a point of departure, this workshop addresses the invisible (wage) labour of modernist women artists and how it affected their creative work in different fields. It seeks to examine the ambivalences of paid and creative work faced and negotiated by individuals and their impact on our understanding of modernist artistic production.

Germany: Bremen; the first Chinese to visit was Li Hongzhang! 
Bremen; Germany&#39;s second largest port city and fifth largest industrial city; a friendly city with Dalian. This small city is full of music, fairy tales, and religious beauty. It is not well-known, but tranquility and contentment are probably its unique beauty.

Bremen Town Hall

DEAR张小球

The Town Hall can be said to be the city center of Bremen. Although it is not large in area, it has a long history. The Town Hall here still retains its function, which is very surprising and a bit incredible.

The windmill park is a small park that is not very big. The windmills here are also very interesting. There are not many designs. You can&#39;t see the windmills running in good weather. It is suitable for windy weather. Many things in the park can be seen by you.
