Jeanne Mammen (1890-1976) was a painter and illustrator most known for her works from the Weimar period associated with the Neue Sachlichkeit. Her work is known for intimate portrayals of life in Berlin by conveying its urban atmosphere and depicting strong, sensuous, modern women—including flappers, divas, and sex workers. In addition to supporting herself as a painter, she designed film posters and worked in advertising. Later in her career, she explored Cubism, embracing more Abstract art styles, and the mediums of sculpture and collage.
