It's not #Friday, but I am off work tomorrow, so you get an #ExLibris today!
This is by Berlin-based graphic artist #DetlefOlschewski, made for the #DanishExlibrisMuseum in Fredrikshavn. The multicoloured woodcut print from 1997 was given to me as a gift by the artist during one of the #BerlinerExlibrisTreff events in 2009 or 2010(?).
Visit Olschewski's website https://www.olschewski-kunst.de/ and the fantastic museum in Fredrikshavn w/ the world's largest Exlibris collections https://frederikshavnkunstmuseum.dk/exlibris.

And it's #ExLibris #Friday again! This week, the #DHd2024 was the big event here in the #Fediverse and it was hard to not feel jealous of all the cool and impressive #DigitalHumanities research.
Anyway, today's exlibris is by #IngeborgZimmerBlaauw for her husband, the ships engineer Hans Zimmer. It's a woodcut featuring a ship and a coat of armour in the upper left corner with the owner's monogram. I don't know when the print was made, but it's published in "Norske Exlibris" by Otto Wang 1942.

In the future, I will try to publish more #ExLibris made by women and for women. They are massively underrepresented as #Artists #Owners or #Collectors in public and private ExLibris collections & societies even to this day.

I have to correct my post: artist #IngeborgZimmerBlaauw was not married to Hans Zimmer but to Trygwe Blaauw. There is an entry about her in the Norwegian Artist Encyclopedia: https://nkl.snl.no/Ingeborg_Zimmer_Blaauw.
Born 1902 in #Stavanger, she studied in #Oslo at the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry 1919-20 & the Norwegian National Academy of Fine Arts 1920-21 and later in #Paris and #Rome. She was primarily active in #WesternNorway and #Bergen.
Hans was most likely a younger brother.

In #Norway, family history #slektshistorie is a huge thing. This means finding information about people who weren't public figures is often possible. I found #IngeborgZimmerBlaauw's relation to Hans Zimmer on a family history website and will share it here. You can navigate to the Zimmer siblings: https://solvberg.org/slektsvev/index.html.
Ingeborg died in 1991 in #Bergen
