Margarete Hamerschlag

Margarete Hamerschlag is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Austrian artist Margarete Hamerschlag drew scenes of everyday life in the early 1900s. Her ink drawing Theater-spielen shows a group of children playing make-believe with simple costumes and props. It’s a quiet moment, but you can almost hear their laughter. Look for the way she uses thin, scratchy lines to capture light and shadow on their faces. Tap Theater-spielen to zoom in and trace the details yourself.
