Else Hartmann-Sapatka (* 17 March 1872 in Allenstein, today Olsztyn; † 21 July 1945 in Berlin) was a painter and craftswoman in Jugendstil, the German form of Art Nouveau. In the first years after the founding of the Debschitz-Schule, she was in charge of the metal workshop. Her silversmith works were exhibited at the St. Louis World's Fair in 1904.
Life
Minna Albertine Elisabeth (called Else, also Elsa) Sapatka was born in 1872, the daughter of Julie Borkowski (1843-1883) and Ernst Albert Christof Rudolf Sapatka (*1836). Known are educational stays in 1896 in Chateau-Marnand, Switzerland and in 1898 in Eastbourne, Sussex, England. From 1900 Sapatka stayed in Munich. She married the art writer and editor Alfred Georg Hartmann (*13 April 1874, † 27 February 1930) on 28 December 1903. On May 15, 1904, daughter Ruth Sofie Else Hartmann († 28 January 1991 in Hythe (Kent)) was born in Munich, and on 8 July 1905, daughter Charlotte († December 10, 1906). The family was registered at Mandlstraße 1c, 2nd floor, Schwabing until 1908,[1] and from 1909 at Kurfürstenstraße 117 in Berlin-Tiergarten.[2]
Career
Else Sapatka headed the metal workshop at the Debschitz-School, which was established shortly after its founding,[3] and taught ceramic design. She thus took on a teaching position at a time when regular study for women was still limited in most German-speaking countries. In accordance with the school's goals, the workshops taught design theory as well as its design implementation. Students used precious and semi-precious materials (including silver, bronze, copper) in the metal workshop and were trained in the techniques of engraving, casting, drifting, patinating, etching, and enameling. Objects such as artful containers, lamps, and jewelry were developed.[4]
At the Erste Ausstellung für Kunst im Handwerk (First Exhibition of Arts in Crafts), 1901, Else Sapatka presented her own chased metalwork and, together with Paul Haustein, flamed enamel work.[5] She presented a cup of silver at the Erste internationale Ausstellung für moderne dekorative Kunst (First International Exposition of Modern Decorative Art) in Turin in 1902.[6]
At the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis, Sapatka exhibited a jewelry box in maple wood with silver-plated hardware, a coat clasp and bracelet, a plate in chased copper, a lorgnon in silver and enamel, napkin rings, tumblers, silver bottle corks, and silver vases set in bronze. [7] She was awarded a gold medal as part of the Vereinigte Werkstätten für Kunst im Handwerk (United Workshops for Art in Handcrafts), Munich along with Markus Behmer, Eugen Berner, Theodor von Gosen, Paul Haustein, Meta Honigmann, Ludwig Kindler and Richard Riemerschmid.[8] As an individual artist, she received a bronze medal for her metalwork.[9] Else Hartmann-Sapatka participated in the 1905 Ausstellung für angewandte Kunst (Exhibition of Applied Arts), Munich with enamel vases and a chased mug.[10]
