Toni Mau (2 September 1917 – 22 November 1981) was a German painter, graphic artist and arts academy teacher.
[1][2] Between 1934 and 1939, and again between 1941 and 1943, Toni Mau studied at the Teaching Institute of the Berlin Museum of Applied Arts (Unterrichtsanstalt des Kunstgewerbemuseum) in Berlin-Charlottenburg.
[1] She returned to Berlin in 1946 and undertook a further period of study at the Fine Arts Museum with Max Kaus.
She became a member of the East German Association of Visual Artists on its foundation in 1951 or 1952, and a number of commissions connected with new building projects followed.
She had already turned her attention to screen printing, a technique which at the time was largely overlooked, and which she now helped to revive.
