Hedwig Marquardt

Hedwig Marquardt, full name Hedwig Frieda Käthe Marquardt, was a German expressionist painter and ceramicist.

She studied art at the Magdeburg Art School and then at the academy in Munich, and worked at the majolica manufactory in Karlsruhe, Kieler Kunst Keramik. At the beginning of her artistic career, Hedwig Marquardt preferred pure abstraction, but later achieved a fusion of abstraction and naturalism. Her work also combines cubist and futuristic, art deco and expressionist techniques.
