Descripción del Artista

Marthe Donas (26. October 1885 in Antwerp - 31. January 1967 in Audregnies) was a Belgian abstract and cubist painter and is recognized as one of the leading figures of Modernism. Donas worked under the pseudonyms Tour d'Onasky, Tour Donas and M. Donas. Her paintings and collages – enigmatically signed ‘Tour Donas’ – hung at the time alongside the leading names of the avant-garde in London, Geneva, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Brussels and Rome and in exhibitions that toured the United States. It was via Paris rather than Belgium, however, that she came to be part of an international artistic network that sprang back into life after the First World War and included key figures like Alexander Archipenko, Amedeo Modigliani, Albert Gleizes, Nathalia Goncharova, Piet Mondrian, Theo van Doesburg, Herwarth Walden and Enrico Prampolini, … The Marthe Donas Foundation was created on December 18th, 2003 ‘to ensure the preservation and promotion of ... the works of the painter Marthe Donas (1885-1967)’. The non-profit Foundation encourages scholarly exchanges and the building of an international network. It supports the study of Donas’ oeuvre by collaboration with museums, scholars and collectors and the maintenance and development of the Donas archives and library. It is currently preparing the catalogue raisonné of the paintings, collages, drawings and etchings of the artist.
