life and work
Stark was a pupil of Franz Pönninger at the General Drawing School in Vienna and studied at the Vienna School of Applied Arts from 1878. Here she attended the technical college for painting and drawing from 1879 to 1887 and the special atelier for ceramics , decoration and enamel painting from 1988 to 1890 . She then gave private lessons in drawing and painting and worked as a freelance artist. In 1896 she sparked debates in the ministry about the inadequate art education of women when she unsuccessfully applied for permission to found a drawing school for women and girls. In 1897 she attended the special school for illustration at the Vienna School of Applied Arts with Felician Freiherr Myrbach von Rheinfeld , who in 1902 applied to the ministry to re-establish an enamel studio. In 1903 she was one of the first women to be appointed provisional teacher with the transfer of technical management in this special atelier for enamel work. In 1914 she became a professor at the workshop for enamel work. From 1908 to 1910 she was a member of the German Werkbund and founding member of the Austrian Werkbund and also had close ties to the Wiener Werkstätte . In Brussels from 1905 to 1911, together with Leopoldine König, she produced the enamel work for the Stoclet frieze in the Stoclet Palace . She went on numerous study trips to Germany, Sweden, England, France and Italy and regularly took part in international exhibitions. Her students included Rudolf Kalvach , Felice Rix-Ueno , Mileva Roller and Anny Schröder-Ehrenfest .
