Life

Martha Rose, with full name Martha Franziska Christiane Johanna Friederike Auguste Dora Rose was the eighth child of the Grabower timber merchant (Georg) Carl (Johann Caspar) Rose and the fourth child of his second wife Lucia Dorothea Johanna, nee. Wiencke. She attended the daughter's school in Grabow and then a higher daughter's school in Bremen, where she also received private drawing lessons. She then lived again in her parents' house until 1886, occupied herself with music and painting, and during a temporary stay with her brother in Frankfurt (Main), she also received singing lessons. From January 1894 she attended the academic school for fine arts founded by Conrad Fehr , the "Akademie Fehr" in Berlin , where she had lessons in the flower class of Clara von Sivers . During the summer months she was also a painting student with Paul Müller-Kaempff in Ahrenshoop for landscape studies . In 1897 she was represented for the first time at the Great Berlin Art Exhibition with the paintings "Grapes" and "Spring Greetings". Around 1899/1900 and again in 1902 she went to Vienna for further studies with the flower painter Olga Wisinger-Florian and with AD Goltz , with whom she mainly trained in painting landscapes and nudes. Participation in the 1900 annual exhibition in the Munich Glass Palace is documented from this time .

From 1902 she lived with her mother and a sister in Schwerin and had her own studio there, in which she had a painting school, a drawing circle for women . In 1908 there was an exhibition with works by her pupils under the patronage of the Ducal House, where not only paintings but also handicrafts could be seen. In 1911 she took part in the art exhibition as part of the 3rd State Trade and Industry Exhibition in Schwerin, where she was honored with a silver medal for her painting "Carnations and Cherries". The work was bought by Walter Josephi for the Mecklenburg State Museum . Various commissions from the house of Grand Duke Friedrich Franz IV testified to the enthusiasm for their works. So she made about 1,906 a folding screen in the Empire style of Queen Wilhelmina of Holland, in 1906 a fan of the Queen of Spain, and in 1908 a painting from the favorite place of the Grand Ducal couple in Schwerin castle garden. In 1916 she received a personal exhibition in the Schwerin Museum. Martha Rose was a full member of the Association for Mecklenburg History and Archeology .

In 2008, the Rostock Cultural History Museum dedicated a personal exhibition to the artist.
