German-Austrian painter of modernism: "Helene Funke [...] founded an independent form of expressionism. [...] Unusual portraits of women and groups of women became her trademark: she detached women from their passive role in society, made them active observers, and at the same time emphasized their self-confident and conspiratorial role within a female community. In her time, she was the only modern artist from Chemnitz to achieve international acclaim." (quoted from the accompanying text to the special exhibition of the Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz, 2018).
