![Dodo - Such Is Life [1929]](http://c1.staticflickr.com/1/557/19134411842_1ecc03e6fd_o.jpg)
Dörte Wolff (February 10, 1907 - December 22, 1998) was brought up in a comfortable upper middle-class Jewish environment in Berlin. She initially worked mainly as a fashion illustrator and also designed costumes. From early on, she used to sign her works as DODO or DoDo. Dodo reached the peak of her artistic career between 1927 and 1930 with caustic genre scenes of Weimar Republic’s glamorous high society. More than 60 of her intensely colourful gouaches, narrating the sophisticated life of the modern urbanite and the increasing estrangement of the sexes, were published in the German satirical magazine ULK. Dodo´s work had almost faded into obscurity; its art historic significance was discovered in the autumn of 2009 by Dr. Renate Krümmer, art collector and art dealer.
