Life

Henriette Hahn was the daughter of the sailing ship captain Christian Heinrich Carl Hahn (1837–1889) and Caroline Wilhelmine, born. Nielsen (1839-1933). From 1877/78 she attended the Tegneskolen for Kvinder in Copenhagen, where she received lessons from Kristian Zahrtmann and Pietro Krohn . In 1885/86 she gave drawing lessons there herself.

In 1887 she started working as a drawing teacher at the vocational school for girls in Hamburg , which at the time was headed by Justus Brinckmann , the founder and first director of the Hamburg Museum of Art and Commerce . From 1892 to 1894 she stayed in Dresden and Paris for study purposes. On April 14, 1893, in Paris, she gave birth to Stephanie, called Steffi, a daughter of Brinckmann, who was still married to Maria Pia Adele von Froschauer. During this time she painted miniatures on ivory and met Niels Hansen-Jacobsen , who later founded the Vejens Art Museum .

After her return to Hamburg she opened a commercial studio in 1894 and a school for drawing and painting lessons in 1896. She made designs for tapestries for the Scherrebeker Kunstwebschule and illustrations for museum publications. The Japanese collections of the Museum of Arts and Crafts inspired her to design colored woodcuts with up to six colors. Along with Otto Eckmann and Peter Behrens, she is one of the first to use this technology in Germany. The woodcuts were exhibited in Hamburg, Dresden, Copenhagen and Paris. They received a silver medal at the 1900 World Exhibition in Paris. The subjects of her woodcuts were nature, cityscapes and portraits. The design shows them as belonging to Art Nouveau .

In 1901 she married Justus Brinckmann, who had been widowed since 1899, with whom she had a total of four children: Stephanie (1893–1975), Heinrich (1900–1975), Gertrud (1902–1993), who married Martin Irwahn in 1926 , and Edgar ( 1904–1975 ). 1984). During her marriage, she was not a professional artist. After her husband's death in 1915, she took up miniature painting again to earn a living. From 1925 she made colored woodblock prints again. She died in Hamburg in 1934.
