Johanna Kanoldt: Malerin – Schriftstellerin – Kunsthändlerin

Johanna Kanoldt (1880–1940), daughter of the Neo-Romantic artist Edmund Kanoldt and sister of the painter Alexander Kanoldt, was known only as one of the founding members of the ‘Neue Künstlervereinigung München’ (1909–1912), along with Wassily Kandinsky, Alexej Jawlensky, Gabriele Münter and others. Based on extensive archival research, this book presents a nuanced picture of her as a remarkably well-connected writer, painter and art dealer in the intellectual circles of her time.
