So much confidence in her drawing. Love the colors. It would be nice if more newspapers today established artist-in-residence programs. That must have been a stimulating job for her at the Berliner Zeitung.

Yeah, I think it would be ideal for artists to find a home for what they do best.

Lovely stuff. I see parallels with the nightclub work of Felix Scheinberger...

I love how her drawing style has similar qualities to that of Egon Schiele but with more verve and bolder colors. You can almost grasp the mindset of the models in the way she drew them.

She was definitely influenced by Egon Schiele. The way they're posed, the personalities that come thru and the gaze.

What a great share! Thank you.

I'm definitely going to be reading more about her. I've been kicking around a few ideas of my own in this space and she sounds like a great starting place for inspiration.
