Grete Marks @ Pallant House Gallery

Grete Marks – also known as Margret Marks or Margarete Heymann – was one of the earliest female students of the Bauhaus School. This exhibition, An Intimate Portrait, celebrates a lesser known aspect of the artist’s creative practice through a series of intimate portrait paintings and drawings from the 1920s and 1930s. Marks is best known for founding the Hael-Werkstätten pottery in Germany – examples of which are included in the exhibition – and later for her ‘Grete Pottery’ created in the UK after emigrating in 1938
