The biography "Lotte Laserstein" by Elke-Vera Kotowski sheds light on the life and work of one of the most significant female artists of the 20th century. Lotte Laserstein, born in 1898, experienced a brilliant rise in the art scene of the Weimar Republic before being forced into exile due to the political upheavals in Germany. Her career was abruptly interrupted by the rise of the Nazis, leading to an exhibition ban and her classification as a "three-quarter Jewish" person. This biography not only documents her artistic achievements but also the challenges she faced during her emigration to Sweden. After her death, her work fell into obscurity but was posthumously recognized as significant for the New Objectivity movement. This comprehensive account offers a deep insight into the life of an artist whose influence and importance were rediscovered many years later.
