Information about Erna Maison Kurt

Hello.
Can someone give me some information about Erna Maison Kurt.

 

Can you Google her??? And what is she--I'm assuming a 'she'.....painter, musician, etc???

 

Why do you ask?
What is it she is connected to? Art? Pottery? Glass? Book?

 

She is an illustrator. I tried on google but I only find many postcards with her illustrations without finding any information on who she is, where she was born, when she was born etc.

 

I couldn't find anything on a BIO on her either....just a few postcards, and mostly on ebay.........had to read carefully to see they weren't all by her....even tho she signed 3 different ways!!!

 

There doesn't seem to be a great deal of information about her, does there? There's a very incomplete bio here (in French.)

And there's also a photograph floating around the internet.

I bought this nice painting at a flea market. Really nice- I had never heard about her but I probably noticed her postcards many times without paying any attention.

 

I think you mean print, not painting? She does seem to have been very prolific in the 1920s-1930s and portrayed children with great charm.

I think this is in mixed media. I found a similar one at the Dorotheum auction house with the same dimensions.

Similar, but not the same.
The one on the German link is a 1948 postecard

 

typical Pro Juventute sujets. bought by the Swiss people to support families with children in need. the second one was Pro Patria.
both were foundations that were also supported by a premium on postage stamps and Pro Patria by selling insignia on National Day.
