“The dossier of this issue of ARTA magazine is structured around the painter Hedda Sterne. Born in 1910 in Bucharest, active at a very young age in the Romanian avant-garde movement, alongside Victor Brauner, Marcel Iancu, and M.H. Maxy, introduced to the French surrealism of the 1930s, but settling in New York in 1941, where she discovered abstract expressionism and abstractionism, Hedda Sterne is a fascinating personality who deserves being introduced in the international modernist canon.”
