Sr Maria Innocentia Hummel
Berta Hummel was born in Bavaria in 1909 with a wonderful gift – an instinct for perceiving her world and translating her observations into drawings. She grew up in the market town of Massing, one of six children in a close-knit family that encouraged her artistic talent. As a school child, Berta was filled with high spirits, imagination and a soaring sense of creativity. She loved nothing more than to impress friends and family with quick, deft sketches of flowers and trees, houses and people, and the busy life she saw around her. Berta’s ability blossomed, and it was clear she would benefit from advanced artistic training.
The drawings came to the attention of Franz Goebel, fourth generation head of W. Goebel Porzellanfabrik, a renowned porcelain company in Rödental. Franz was always on the lookout for promising new artists, and it struck him that these simple sketches of children would be the perfect basis for a line of figurines, with special appeal during difficult political times.
Franz Goebel sought permission from the Convent of Siessen to translate the two-dimensional artwork of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel into three-dimensional ceramic figurines. After some negotiation, it was agreed that the figurines would be true to the artwork and handcrafted to meet highest quality standards, and final artistic control would rest with Sister M.I. Hummel and the convent. With these conditions, Goebel received the exclusive rights to create
M.I. Hummel
figurines.
