The Life Of Ludwig Hirschfeld-Mac
Join Resi Schwarzbauer as she describes the life of Ludwig Hirschfeld-Mack, a German-Jewish artist and educator who was one of the first students of the influential Bauhaus movement in 1919. His eventful life included military service on the Western Front, self-exile from Nazi Germany in 1936 to England, deportation on the notorious ship Dunera, and internment in the Tatura migrant hostel. Unexpectedly, it was in Australia that he found fulfillment as Art Master at Geelong Grammar School, before retiring to Ferny Creek. This biography covers his extraordinary life as an artist, teacher, musician, inventor, performer, pacifist, and family man, and is a stirring testament to our common humanity.

Meet The Artist: Martha Iserman
Join us at Belgrave Library to meet local artist Martha Iserman who will give a talk on her practice and overview of science illustration in history.
Martha is a science illustrator and watercolor artist currently living and working in Belgrave Heights. She’s most interested in creating unique biological worlds by depicting familiar organisms in unfamiliar ways. Her painting style is very detailed, using color, composition, and form to break out of traditional representational art tropes.
