The Belgian artist Marthe Donas, who is gradually being rediscovered internationally, shot to fame in the years around 1920. 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.
