Breslauer, Marianne (1909—)
German photographer. Name variations: (pseudonym) Ipp. Born in Berlin, Germany, in 1909; married Dr. Walter Feilchenfeldt in 1936.
Marianne Breslauer trained in Berlin, then went to Paris where she was a student of Man Ray. There, she photographed extensively, specializing in urban documentation and portraits. Returning to Berlin in 1930, she entered the Ullstein studio under Elsbeth Heddenhausen ; she was soon back in Paris, however, where she continued her portrait work, photographing artists Pablo Picasso and Ambrois Vollard among others. Breslauer also traveled to Spain and Zurich to photograph for the Mauritius and Academia agencies. Her work was restricted under Hitler's Germany, and she photographed with the Kind agency in 1934 using the pseudonym "Ipp." During the 1930s, she was widely published in German periodicals, including Frankfurter Illustrierten, Funkstunde, Weltkreir, and Weltspiegel. In 1936, Breslauer married an art dealer and immigrated to Switzerland, where she stopped making photographs to become an art dealer.
