life and work
Ruth Maetzel was born in 1911 as the eldest of four children of the artist couple Emil Maetzel and Dorothea Maetzel-Johannsen . After graduating from high school in 1931, she began studying interior design at the Hamburg State Art School . In 1933 she married the lawyer and later Hamburg attorney general Ernst Buchholz . The couple had 3 children: Wolff Buchholz (* 1935; † November 2010), Jan Buchholz (* 1938) and Doris von Zitzewitz (* 1944).
Ruth Buchholz had a keen sense for the effects of colors. After starting oil painting, she soon decided to use pastel chalks. From the drawing technique of chalk she developed a chalk painting. For many decades she worked resolutely on a subject from which she was able to gain many aspects with increasing perfection - the still life. If the early pictures still show conventional compositions, the later works continuously concentrate on the individual motif.
