EWT
Flowering Dogwood, Cornus Kausa, (German: Hartriegel)
Left: Flowering Dogwood by Gretchen Wohlwill (cousin of her husband), student of Matisse and best known of these two Hamburg and Jewish Wohlwill artists.
ARCHIVE
Until recently EWT was not known as a printmaker or graphic artist until this woodblock and an etching surfaced in a substantial “Nachlass” (from the estate of…) including some 1908-1912 pencil drawings of babies and small children obviously her own children Barbara (1908-1991) and Thomas (1911-2001). It is always a sad thing to see such intimate belongings becoming detached from the family. Especially in the case of Jewish families like the Wohlwills from Hamburg.
* This print was acquired with the friendly help of print dealer Danny Arndt. See the Menu: list of addresses and interesting print dealers.

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.
