Stephanie Hollenstein (18 July 1886 in Lustenau – 24 May 1944 in Vienna) was an Austrian Expressionist landscape and still-life painter.[1] A member of the Nazi Party, Hollenstein was lesbian[2][3] and tried to defend fellow-artists against charges of degeneracy, though usually without success.[4][5] She was nicknamed Die Schiefmalerin, meaning the Crooked Lady Painter.[6]
