Jump to
Gerda Marie Fredrikke Wegener (née Gottlieb; 15 March 1886 – 28 July 1940) was a Danish illustrator and painter. Wegener is known for her fashion illustrations and later her paintings that pushed the boundaries of gender and love of her time. These works were classified as "lesbian erotica" at times and many were inspired by her spouse, the transgender woman Lili Elbe. Wegener employed these works in the styles of Art Nouveau and later Art Deco.
