1. Nelly Bodenheim Marker
Kunstenares Nelly Bodenheim werd vooral bekend door haar illustraties van kinder- boeken. Ze was een van de acht Amsterdamse Joffers, die eind 19e eeuw aan de Rijks- academie voor Beeldende Kunsten studeerden. In een tijd dat vrouwen niet geacht werden te werken, hielden zij zich staande in een mannelijke kunstwereld. Bodenheim was de enige die niet schilderde. Ze ontwierp onder andere toneelkostuums, affiches, wandmozaοeken, kussens, tasjes en ze illustreerde. Haar gedetailleerde silhouetten ('zwartjes' genaamd) sierden boeken met volksliedjes, sprookjes en bakerrijmpjes, waarmee kinderen spelenderwijs opvoedkundige zaken werd aangeleerd. Rondom een overzichtstentoonstelling in 1949 werd ze geroemd om haar onafhankelijke geest, fantasie en humor.

Overview: Nelly Bodenheim or Johanna Cornelia Hermana Van Bodenheim (27 May 1874 7 January 1951) was a Dutch illustrator known for her silhouettes.(Submitted on April 8, 2024.)
Bodenheim was born in Amsterdam where she was trained at the Rijksacademie voor Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam, and then she followed lessons from the painter Jan Veth. Her illustrations (often for children's books) were generally black & white silhouettes but she is also known for color lithography. Besides illustrations for books and magazines, she designed textiles, posters, and book covers. She was a member of the group of artists known as the Amsterdamse Joffers.
Her silhouettes decorated the 1905 book Women Painters of the World. Bodenheim's work was included in the 1939 exhibition and sale Onze Kunst van Heden (Our Art of Today) at the Rijksmuseumin Amsterdam.Photographed by Nelly Bodenheim (via Wikimedia Commons)3. Nelly Bodenheim - silhouette
