Colección: Berta Czegka

Berta Czegka (July 30, 1880 – November 4, 1954) was a member of the “Association of Visual Artists” in her native Austria. In the interwar period, the painter worked as an illustrator on children’s books. One highlight among her later works is a poster she created in 1934 (above) for skiing in Arlberg which shows Austrian ski pioneer Hannes Schneider (24 June 1890 – 26 April 1955) teaching a group of rabbits how to ski.

Czegka herself was a passionate skier and joined the Austrian Ski Association in 1911.
