 ELKE SOMMER one of the most exciting exports from Germany for many a moon is unquestionably talented and vivacious. With over 50 motion pictures to her credit, she has been painting since childhood. She has major exhibitions in Rome, Munich, Beverly Hills, Hollywood and Chicago. Hans Engel, famous German artist and critic,
has this to say about her work. "Miss Sommer has an incredible ability to choose her themes which she applies with an individual style which gives her a most valuable and unique identity. Had I not known the artist, I would have thought I was looking at the efforts of a gifted pupil of Goya. I'm highly impressed with her style and predict she will play a major part in the art world it she so desires." "I would rather be known as an artist who acts". says Miss Sommer, "than an actress who paints".
