German painter and lithographer Lenigret Mallwitz was the wife of track and field athlete Arthur Mallwitz, who later became a physician and was one of the founders of the Association Internationale Medico Sportive (International Association of Sports Medicine) in 1928. Lenigret studied painting in München and Berlin, where she founded her own studio after World War I and participated in numerous exhibitions. During World War II her studio was destroyed by bomb raids. After the war she continued working as a painter and became co-founder of the Association of German and Austrian Female Artists of all Genres (GEDOK). Her main concern was the promotion of women’s artistic talents.
