Emma Bormann, Universität in Groningen
Woodcut, 1922
Emma Bormann's art was vibrant, and her life too was unusual. She travelled widely in Europe and Asia, and spent the years 1939-1950 in China. Later she lived in Tokyo and in Riverside, California, where she died.

Neil, thanks for this. I looked around and found this link to an exhibition in San Francisco this past fall, inspired by this book. Her works in color look very nice indeed.

She was an interesting artist, not easily categorisable, and lived a very adventurous life for a woman of her time. Thanks for the link to the retrospective.
