Hermine Heller-Ostersetzer (born July 23, 1874 in Vienna ; † March 8, 1909 in Grimmenstein , Lower Austria ) was an Austrian painter and graphic artist with a socially critical orientation.

Life

Hermine Ostersetzer came from the Jewish middle class. Her father, Adolf Ostersetzer, and his brother Sigismund, sons of a Talmud school teacher, had moved from Brody and founded a small company for special papers. Hermione was one of five children.

After a drawing course with Joseph-Eugen Hörwarter at the Graphische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt Wien , she studied from 1897 at the Vienna School of Applied Arts with Felician von Myrbach (1853–1940) and Leopold Karger , then from 1903 with Leopold von Kalckreuth in Stuttgart. As a Myrbach student, she was allowed to show some works at the Paris World Exhibition in 1900 .

Hermine Ostersetzer drew her cycle "The Life of the Poor" for the magazine "Wiener Mode" (executed in algraphy, a flat printing process) but represents her real priorities. This also corresponds to her marriage to the bookseller and publisher Hugo Heller (from 1901) who was committed to the Social Democrats . Many of the title pages for leaflets and workers' magazines come from her, but are not easy to identify due to the lack of a signature.

At Kalckreuth's suggestion, Heller-Ostersetzer was accepted into the German Association of Artists . She also received the Rothschild Foundation Prize.

Heller-Ostersetzer had two sons. She died of pulmonary tuberculosis in the Grimmenstein Lung Sanatorium and was buried in Gotha .
