The Observer

An ode to Jeanne Mammen, an artist active in early 20th century documenting the unique queer scene of Berlin after WW1. She acted as a fly on the wall at cafes and clubs, illustrating the burgeoning city life. Berlin at the time was seen as an unrepairable den of sin. That left space for queer folk to make lives for themselves unburdened by the conservative masses. Bright violet strikes through the cold mossy cobblestone streets. The lights of a small café pierce through the dark night drawing her into its warmth. Café Nollendorf the sign read. A single violinist played in the corner for the small crowd, most of them not paying attention. Two women taken by the somber song slow dance looking deeply into each others eyes. Jeanne settles at a table, inhales the smoky ambiance of the café, and starts to draw. . Violet Incense Black Pepper Vanilla Oakmoss Sandalwood .
