Ilse Voigt (painter)
Ilse Ruth Voigt , (born June 2, 1905 in Eberswalde ; died May 29, 1997 in Lausanne ) was a German- Swiss painter , draftsman and graphic artist .
Life
Ilse Voigt, daughter of a Berlin post director, was already passionate about drawing as a child, stimulated by visiting museums with her father. After high school, she attended a craft and arts and crafts school in Charlottenburg, then found a job in the theater art equipment company Hugo Baruch , where she quickly trained through costume studies and daily practice. There she designed costumes for the revues by Herman Haller and Erik Charell . With this activity she financed her studies at the United State Schools for Free and Applied Arts from 1924 to 1927 . In the graphics class with Emil Orlik she advanced to a master student. At the same time she attended amateur courses in modern artistic dance in a Berlin Laban school. At the age of 22 she took part in the Great Berlin Art Exhibition with two paintings ( model study and Der Museumsdiener S. ) .
In the 1930s Ilse Voigt emigrated to Holland and then to Switzerland, where she settled in Lausanne and lived there until her death. In the 1950s she began ballet training with Boris Kniaseff in Lausanne and Geneva, where she found her second focus in visual arts - besides portrait painting - the representation of dance. The main model at this time was Diane Mansart, who became a solo dancer with Yvonne Georgi at the Hanover Opera House and the Paris Opera, who ended her stage career in 1963 and married the actor Heinz Bennent and had two children with him ( Anne Bennent and David Bennent ).
