M.C. (Marie Claire ?) Cläre Schmidt-Weissenberg
Painter and printmaker. Known by 4 colour woodblock prints. The signature reads M.C. Schmidt-Weissenberg (Marie Claire ?). She may have been the wife (or possibly his sister) of Dr. Kurt Schmidt (Colmnitz near Dresden 22-04-1866- in or after 1932) who lived/worked in 1932 at the same address.
She obviously travelled to America’s West coast, possibly even emigrated.

Dear print lover, passing-by visitor and reader:
While this new gallery-museum site is under construction (being build-up, stocked and arranged) priority must be given to first add all the represented artists in the index with works from the collection and if possible with the examples from the archives.
During construction the site is open to visitors, questions, feedback and suggestions.
