[5] Contemporary witnesses reported that Kunowski had not only staged her art, but also herself - dressed in clothes and hats she had designed herself, she had floated through neighbouring Berchtesgaden like a "colourful bird of paradise".
[1] The inheritance administration of her works is currently in the hands of her grand-nephew Reinhardt Rudershausen, who lives in Schondorf am Ammersee, who in turn appointed the painter and gallery owner Peter Karger in Berchtesgaden as the custodian of the entire estate in 1992.
[8] In the decades of her activity, many of her works received very positive reviews, and two years after her death, the Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus in Munich honoured her with a solo exhibition.
[2] In a 1988 article published in Die Zeit, she was praised alongside Käthe Kollwitz and Sabine Lepsius as one of those female artists who had attracted attention at the end of the 19th century and whose paintings "stood out more clearly from the series of often mediocre or simply marginal works".
[10] "She was able to see under the skin", was how others Walter Andreas Angerer [de] praised the artist at the opening of the exhibition and was enthusiastic "about Kunowski's ability to imbue her pictures, even the sketches and drafts, with soul".
