Before the love match, several courting letters were exchanged and the lovers met “under the acacia”. From the slowly developing romance between the older artist and the younger seamstress, a love affair grew under difficult political and social conditions.

Personal letters and photographs from the estate, which have not yet been published, and selected graphic sheets depict the close and creatively productive love at the Elbe slopes.
