Aura Hertwig

b. 1861 — d. 1944

Among her "Kunstfotografie", Hertwig photographed primarily painters, architects, and other artists, beginning in Berlin 1900 with Gerhart Hauptmann and Lovis Corinth. She also photographed writers of Vienna's literary circles. Hertwig executes an "unmistakable, characteristic style" described to be representative of "the out-of-focus trend" and sometimes resembling the painterly qualities of Robert Demachy's photography.
