Isolde Voigt

Isolde Voigt (b.Dresden, 1897) was the eldest daughter of paper manufacturer Gottlieb Paul Leonhardt. Unusually, for the time, she had a keen interest in technology and art; she passionately combined her love of travel with her creative sensibility. With her keen eye and innate talent for composition, Isolde immersed herself in the emerging medium of photography. She was fascinated by the ability to capture moments and spent countless hours honing her skills and experimenting with different techniques. With her lens, she chronicled the early 20th century with each frame. Over the years, Isolde's extensive archive grew and became a treasure trove of historical significance. Unfortunately, many negatives were lost after the destruction of Dresden. Nevertheless, her unique images embody the zeitgeist of a bygone era and offer a unique perspective on life at that time. Isolde Voigt's legacy as a talented photographer endures and is a testament to her tireless dedication and love of the art form.
