Ringl + Pit, Klärchen (1931)

Ringl and Pit were childhood nicknames later used as a working name by German-born photographers Ellen Rosenberg Auerbach (1906–2004) and Grete Stern (1904–1999), who achieved fame as an avant-garde pair in the Weimar Republic in the 1930s and subsequently followed individual careers of distinction in the United States and Argentina.

Gertrudis Chale by Grete Stern, 1945

Gertrudis Chale was an Austrian painter based in Buenos Aires, where she achieved integration into the local art scene and everyday life. She was very interested in the rural areas of Argentina and of Latin America in general and spent many years travelling throughout the region.

Born in 1898, Chale studied first at the School of Arts and Crafts of Vienna, her home town, and later studied painting at the Heimann school in Munich. In the mid-1920s, she went to Switzerland and then Paris, where she worked as a publicist for advertising companies. At the beginning of the 1930s, she moved from France to Spain to work as an artistic collaborator in a fashion house. She spent a year in the Balearic Islands, dividing her time between Mallorca and Ibiza. She eventually settled in Madrid for more than a year. Because of her Jewish origins, Europe was no longer a safe place and she decided to emigrate to Argentina in 1934. Source & more
