Natascha Artin Brunswick
Walking path near Hamburg-Langenhorn
Artin Brunswick never saw herself as a professional photographer. She considered it a private passion.
After they married in 1929, Emil Artin presented her as a gift a precious Leica compact camera. She was
encouraged in her photography by the painter Heinrich Stegemann, a family friend. She was particularly
interested in architecture, and, influenced by the ideas of the Bauhaus, preferred clear, bright lines in her
photographs. As she was classified an enemy alien during World War II, her camera was confiscated by
police in 1942. By the time it was returned to her, she had lost her passion for photography. Her prints
from the time in Hamburg, however, survived through her emigration. Her son Tom rediscovered them
about forty years later in a cabinet. He recognized their importance and contacted galleries in Hamburg.
Artin Brunswick's photographs were first shown at the Kunstgenuss gallery in Hamburg-Eppendorf in
1999. In 2001, the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe organized an exhibition of 227 original prints under
the title "Hamburg, As I Saw It; Photographs from the 1920s and 30s". At 91 years of age, Natascha took
the trip from New York to attend the opening. The museum holds 230 original prints.
