The painter and graphic artist Martel Schwichtenberg was born as Justine Adele Martha Schwichtenberg in Hanover in 1896. After studying at a private art school and the Kunstgewerbeschule in Düsseldorf, she moved to Berlin in 1920, where she joined the Werkbund and the Novembergruppe and gave herself the first name «Martel», which came from a brand of cognac. In the following years she worked as a graphic designer for the biscuit manufacturer Bahlsen, among others, but also created numerous portraits and still lifes in a style inspired by the «Brücke»-Expressionism and the Neue Sachlichkeit. Although she had emigrated to South Africa in 1933, she returned to Germany for a visit in 1939 after a devastating fire had destroyed her new domicile, including her studio and about 400 works. Here she was surprised by the outbreak of the Second World War and was not allowed to return to her adopted home, which is why she went into «inner emigration». She spent the years until 1945 in the Black Forest, among others in the Glotterbad sanatorium, and died in Sulzburg shortly after the end of the war.
