Description:
Ioanna Rheinfelder was born in Bucharest, Romania, but moved to Munich in 1970. She was a graphic designer who did woodblock work and wall painting, as well as musical and theatrical activities. The artist spent some time in Cyprus pre-1974 and was a friend of the Cypriot painter Adamantios Diamantis. She also had an interest in ethnography and, intrigued by the Cypriot culture and life, tried to adapt her work and her titles to reflect this. The watercolour is a view of an olive grove at the base of a hill. High on the hill is a white-washed church with it's red tiled roof. Beyond the church, the hills roll on into the distance
