New on View: Hanna Nagel’s “New Women” at Work

Harvard Art Museums

Thu., Apr. 2, 2026, 12:30 – 1 p.m.



Join us for a gallery talk by curator Lynette Roth focusing on recently acquired works on paper by pioneering German artist Hanna Nagel, active in the 1920s and 1930s.

Nagel was among the first generation of female artists to study at German art academies, which didn’t open their doors to women until 1919. She quickly became an expert draughtswoman, and much of her work responded to the rise of the liberated “New Woman” in interwar Germany by addressing ongoing gender disparities and the (often unseen) labor of women.
