Annemarie von Matt (born Marie Gunz: 10 April 1905 – 27 November 1967) was a Swiss painter, graphic artist and writer.
As a young women she took studio work as a nude model which gave her a connection to the dynamic artistic network in central Switzerland in the 1920s.
She enjoyed increasing public recognition and received commissions, including one for a postage stamp celebrating the Female Auxiliaries (" Frauenhilfsdienst").
[1] Another member of the youthful artistic circle of the time was the painter-sculptor Hans von Matt (1899–1985) whom Annemarie Gunz married she was thirty, in 1935.
Annemarie von Matt's own profile as an artist, exhibiting and winning arts prizes at festivals in the region, seems to have been enhanced by her marriage.
Sources differ over when Annemarie von Matt first met the charismatic author-theologian Josef Vital Kopp, but their love affair blossomed in 1940.
