Anne Neumann 1906(Germany)-1955 (Israel)
Anni studied Art from 1924-1927 at the Reimann School in Berlin.
In 1932, she was quickly propelled to the larger artistic world by one of the jury members of the Grosse Berliner Kunstaustellung who saw her work. She received the Adolf Donat Prize at this important annual exhibition. Donat was the most respected Art writer in Berlin. Her successful career which was just commencing was suddenly stopped by the ascent of Hitler to power. She escaped Germany with her portfolios and a steamer trunk and arrived in Eratz, Israel. Here, she exhibited her art regularly and was involved with the establishment of the State of Israel. Anni illustrated numerous children's books, magazine covers (for Hadar a popular magazine), portraits and became famous for her touching figurative work. Her portraits of Henrietta Szold (founder of Hadassah)are memorable and have been acclained. Anni created stirring works related to the Holocaust and made an anti-nazi poster design which was apropriate for atrocities then occurring with the English and Arabs. Please see the dramatic original poster art which demands, "Don't let this happain again!"
