In 1911, she moved to Paris and enrolled at the Accademie Ranson, where she came into contact with the artists Paul Serusier, Felix Valotton, and Maurice Denis, as well as with French symbolism, post-impressionism, and neoclassicism. In 1919, Pinner met Kasimir Edschmid. Their romantic and artistic relationship, which lasted almost twenty years, gave rise to a large number of joint publications. Pinner’s watercolors and drawings were presented not only at Ludwig Schames’s art gallery in Frankfurt, but also at Alfred Flechtheim’s galleries in Berlin, Düsseldorf, and Frankfurt" (Jacob Nussbaum Archive).
