Life

Weert was born in Ghent as Anna Virginie Caroline Cogen. Her grandfather was Karel Lodewijk Ledeganck and her uncles, Alphons and Felix Cogen, were painters.[1]

In the 1890s she was a private (pro bono) student of the Belgian painter Emile Claus. She and her husband Maurice De Weert spent summers with him in the 1890s.[2]

Anna Cogen was a productive artist[3] and had a long association with the Cercle Artistique et Littéraire in her home town after she first exhibited there in 1895.[1] She died in Ghent in 1950.
