Anna Klein (painter)

Anna Klein (16 February 1883 in Nuremberg – 25 November 1941 in Kaunas) was a German landscape, animal and genre painter.

She specialized in motifs from Upper Bavaria and Tyrol and designed many utilitarian items such as labels, bookplates and postcards in addition to her canvases.

A large number of her paintings may be found at the Gemäldegalerie Dachau [de], where a retrospective was held in 2008.

For a time, she worked as a private drawing teacher in Munich then, together with her friend, Elisabeth Troll, established her own school.

As a Jew, she was not allowed to use public transportation, so she had to walk from her home on the west side of the city to Haidhausen and back every day.
