Biography
[edit | edit source]Aschoff was born in Göttingen on 26 April 1900.[1] From 1921 to 1923 she attended the Kunstakademie in Stuttgart[2] where she studied calligraphy with Friedrich Hermann Ernst Schneidler and bookbinding with Wilhelm Schlemmer. She also studied with and influenced the work of Mike Gold, a professional artist and calligrapher published in Calligraphy Review annual, Calligraphers Engagement Calendars and Greeting Card Design.[3] She then lived in Freiburg where she had her own bookbinding workshop from 1928 to 1964. Aschoff worked as a freelance artist thereafter and died in Freiburg on 20 September 1969.
Aschoff is known for her decorated papers.[4] Her work in this field was greatly admired because it was mostly done by hand with materials such as oil-paint and water-colour mixed with paste. This form of craft and style stood out compared to the mainstream mechanically produced decorated papers of the 20th century.[5]
Examples of her works are included in the Klingspor Museum in Offenbach[6] and the Olga Hirsch Collection of Decorated Papers.[7]
