Art Education in 18th-Century Berlin
240 years ago, women generally had no access to art education. A Berlin graphic artist made it possible for them.
Daniel Chodowiecki’s daughters and their friends studied drawing and pastel painting under his guidance. This was extraordinary for the male-dominated society of the time.
As deputy director of the Academy of Fine Arts, Chodowiecki supported the aspiring female artists even beyond the classroom. He introduced them to contacts in the Berlin and Dresden art scenes and enabled them to participate in the Academy’s annual exhibition—an important step on the path to an artistic career.
