The Kunstmuseum Bern is presenting a comprehensive retrospective of work by Martha Stettler (1870–1945) for the very first time. She was born in Switzerland and pursued her career as an artist in Paris where she lived to the end. Her work can be essentially classified as late impressionist and she was a famous artist during her lifetime. The exhibition illustrates her significances for Swiss painting over the first quarter of the twentieth century.
She received numerous awards and, in 1920, was the first woman allowed to exhibit at the Venice Biennial. She was cofounder as well as director of the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris, which boasted students such as Alberto Giacometti and Meret Oppenheim.
