Biography
Kahn-Weyl née Weyl was born on 19 May 1896 in Amsterdam. She was a self-taught painter.[1] In 1921 she married Henri René Kahn (18881970) with whom she had two children. René Kahn was the director of the family fashion house Hirsch & Cie.
Her work was included in the 1939 exhibition and sale Onze Kunst van Heden (Our Art of Today) at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.[2] She was a member of the De Onafhankelijken (The Independents) and Gooische Schildersvereniging (Gooische Painters Association).[1]
Kahn-Weyl's husband was arrested in 1941 after his brother gave an anti-German speech. In 1942 he was arrested again, prompting Dorry and the children to hide in Veluwe.[3]
