Der Augenblick. Die Fotografin Annelise Kretschmer

Annelise Kretschmer (1903-1987) is considered one of the significant German photographers whose work received international recognition during the Weimar Republic. With her particular interest in and sensitivity to people, she created striking portrait photographs that are regarded as the outstanding characteristic of her 56-year-long photographic career. The LWL Museum of Art and Culture in Münster, which has managed Kretschmer's estate since the end of 2019, is dedicating a comprehensive special exhibition to the life’s work of the photographer born in Dortmund in spring 2022, highlighting all phases of her work and placing a special emphasis on her preferred subject - the portrait.
