AAA - The Hummel - [Drawings By Berta Hummel with Light Verse] - (1st English Edition Hardcover)

Please note > This is a book - Still in a great condition - Very collectable - Emil Fink-Verlag, Stuttgart, 1972.  >>>  Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel, O.S.F., was a famous German Franciscan Sister and artist. She is noted for the artwork which was the starting point of the popular Hummel figurines.  (Wikipedia)  >>>  Hummels—joyful, whimsical figurines of happy children—are international collectors’ items, well-known, well-loved and highly valued. Not everyone is equally aware of the artist behind these images of children and other more overtly religious figurines. All were inspired by the sketchings and pastel drawings of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel, a German Franciscan nun who lived during the Hitler era. Though her work was banned by the Nazis, she continued to produce her art under difficult conditions.   -   Sister Hummel died nearly 51 years ago when she was only 37. Her art beautifully reflected her sunny disposition and her love of children. She kept her faith in the power of God even though she lived in the darkest days of her native Germany.
