Biography
Biography
The first solo exhibition of her works was in 1918, in what is today Brukenthal National Museum in Sibiu. Her modernistic art was negatively reviewed in the conservative environment. After an exhibition in Berlin in 1935, the Nazi Germans condemned her art as "Degenerate". From 1954, she continuously spent part of the year in Greece, where she had an atelier. In 1962, she settled permanently in Berlin.
