Marta Kuhn-Weber (1903–1990) was an artist who embraced intellectual, economic, and artistic freedom, rejecting the boundaries between fantasy and reality. A self-assured and independent figure, she defied genre classifications and external judgment. She studied at the Badische Landeskunstschule in Karlsruhe in the mid-1920s and co-published the left-wing artists' magazine ZAKPO in 1930. After living in Berlin, Freiburg, Basel, and Alsace, she moved to Paris in the mid-1960s. Known for her flair for self-staging, her work includes photographic and painted self-portraits and life-sized dolls that explore gender, sexuality, and social roles. Her inspirations ranged from literature and theatre to the queer scene of the 1960s and 1970s. The publication features a detailed biography, her artistic networks, and a selected catalogue of works.
