From the estate of Gunter Böhmer (1911-1986). (Ruvigliana ), 1940-47. Interesting document of the friendship between the graphic artist Imre Reiner and his wife Hedwig, and Maria Geroe-Tobler (1895-1963), friend of the painter Hans Purrmann, known for her colorful woven wall hangings. Born in St. Gallen, she studied at the Bauhaus Dessau and was a pupil of Klee, Kandinsky, and Gunta Stölzl, the weaving teacher there; since 1925, she lived in Montagnola, where she also befriended Hermann Hesse and his wife Ninon. Most of the prints were birthday greetings, inscribed, e.g., "zum 12. XII. 1940 mit den herzlichsten Wünschen I.R." Two leaves pertain to the novel "Madame Bovary" and were executed in 1935, 1 color etching has the date 1937 in the plate. A short handwritten note signed "Hedwig, Imre, Michael und Roland Reiner" is addressed to "Die liebe Frau Mareili Geroe-Tobler", another letter on stationery with Hedwig Reiner's letterhead in the addressed envelope is in Hedwig's hand, signed "Hedwig u. Imre Reiner". It refers to Gunter Böhmer: "Wir wollen ganz fest hoffen u. bitten, dass der liebe Boehmer weiterhin malen u. zeichnen darf". Böhmer lived in Montagnola too and was a friend of both the Reiners and Maria Geroe-Tobler. - Some foxing. ART - GENERAL & APPLIED ; AUTOGRAPHS ;
