Anna Löffler-Winkler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anna Löffler-Winkler (born May 16, 1890 in Saint Petersburg , Russia , † January 9, 1967 in Bamberg ) was a Russian-born painter and illustrator with Franconian ancestors and later adopted city of Bamberg.

Life

Anna Winkler was one of twelve children of the engineer and blacksmith Karl Winkler and his wife Marie Wilm. As an entrepreneur, Winkler founded a successful blacksmithing company in Imperial Saint Petersburg. He bequeathed his artistic talent to his son Eduard Winkler (Munich, 1884–1978) and his daughter Anna Winkler. The daughter lived in Russia until 1914.

Art studies

Anna Winkler began her art studies in Saint Petersburg with portrait and nude studies . The First World War drove the family to Germany. Anna Winkler had to interrupt her studies to work as a hospital assistant for four years. After that she was trained as a nurse.

In Munich she resumed her art studies and began with watercolor landscapes. In 1930 she moved with her husband to their "adopted home town" Bamberg, where they built up a large circle of art lovers within 37 years. The city of Bamberg honored her in 1990 with a large commemorative exhibition on her 100th birthday.
