life and work

After graduating from the Königin-Katharina-Stift-Gymnasium Stuttgart in 1929, Sommer-Leypold was admitted to the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart . Hans Spiegel and Anton Kolig were her teachers. In 1933, she interrupted her studies to help her parents' farm. After stays in Oslo and Italy, she resumed studying with Anton Kolig in 1940 and became a master student and his assistant. In 1943, at Hitler's behest, Kolig was dismissed and Leypold was expelled from the academy. In 1944 she took over her parents' Hardthof. In 1946 her works were shown in two exhibitions in Tübingen and Konstanz. She married Rudolf Sommer in 1953, who died in 1984 after a serious illness. After handing over the farm to her nephew in 1989, she devoted herself intensively to painting and traveled to Paris, Cyprus, Crete, Tunisia, Morocco and Turkey. On their 100th birthday, the Orangery Draenert and the Heimatverein Immenstaad eV honored them with an exhibition from October 2009 to January 2010.
