The figures sleep, chat to each other, turn their backs on the viewer. On the central table, a wilting bunch of tulips alludes to the passage of time. What could they be dreaming about? Helene Funke had to surmount many obstacles to achieve her goal of becoming a painter. Since women were not allowed to attend academies, she studied at a private art school in Munich. Funke’s time in France provided her with a wealth of inspiration, the most prominent influence being Henri Matisse’s vibrant colors that are echoed in this painting.

She is naked, other than a blue necklace and a silk scarf. But Helene Funke’s nude does not exude eroticism. Instead, the artist captures a moment of self-reflection. Against her parents’ wishes, Funke had studied art at the Women’s Academy in Munich and then lived in Paris for several years before moving to Vienna. She was one of the first artists to introduce to Austria the wild, contrasting style of the French Fauves. Funke’s many depictions of women explore female worlds with subtlety and nuance.
