Elena Luksch-Makowsky - Untitled (1902)

Woodcut image with casein colours. Signed in plate on the bottom right of the image.
 
In 1902, shortly after moving to Vienna, with this image Elena Luksch-Mukowsky became the first ever women to exhibit with the acclaimed Vienna Secessionist movement, founded 5 years earlier by Gustav Klimt, Kolo Moser and Max Kurzweil among others. She was the only female artist to be granted a monogram, despite not getting voting rights, and she continued to exhibit with the Vienna Secession, alongside working for the Wiener Werkstätte, until she left Vienna in 1905.
