Bormann, Emma (1887 - 1974)
A talented Austrian woodcut artist, Emma Bormann studied printmaking techniques at the Academy of Vienna. Her first woodcuts were published in 1917 and during the following two decades she created landscapes and city views of Munich, Vienna, Paris, Florence, Venice, Dalmatia and Istanbul. Bormann’s original woodcuts were widely exhibited throughout Europe.
After the Second World War, Emma Bormann continued to travel and work extensively. During the early 1950’s, she produced woodcuts of New York, Washington and San Francisco. Further travels took her to China. In 1957 she resided in Japan and created a series of woodcuts detailing Japanese Imperial dances.
Today the original woodcuts of Emma Bormann are included in many prominent collections, including the Stadtbibliothek, Vienna, and the Museum of Fine Arts, San Francisco.
