Artistic Havemanns


Margarete Braunmüller-Havemann apparently made quite a number of wood carvings (Holzschnitt) in Germany in the early 1900s. (Can anyone tell me more about her?) Below are a few which have been auctioned on eBay recently.

We're looking for clues about...

Bill Havemann -- one of the Dick Johnson musical quartet (USA).

The The Havemann Quartet was a string quartet comprised of four men, led by Professor Gustav Havemann. While few references have been found, the "Havemann-Kwartett" performed classical music in Germany and Czechoslovakia in the 1920s. Herr Professor Havemann was still active in Germany's musical heritage in the 1930s. Further information welcomed.

Update: I've found quite a bit about Herr Professor and his Quartet. See what I've found!
