Hildegard Jone

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hildegard Jone (born as Hildegard Huber June 1, 1891 in Sarajewo , Bosnia and Herzegovina , Austria-Hungary ; died August 28, 1963 in Purkersdorf near Vienna ) was an Austrian poet and artist.

Life

Hildegard Huber was a daughter of the architect Huber, and Countess Deym, née Josephine Brunsvik , was among her maternal ancestors . She grew up in Sarajevo. Huber chose the stage name Jone based on the Attic Ionians . From 1908 she attended the Vienna Art School for Women and Girls and became a private student of the sculptor Josef Humplik , whom she married in 1921. Both moved from Vienna to Purkersdorf in 1934.

Jones's Christian-Catholic-oriented poetry, which was influenced by the ideas of the philosopher Ferdinand Ebner from 1928 onwards , became known to a broader audience through settings by Anton Webern (op. 23, 25, 26, 29, 31).
