Dörte Clara Wolff grew up in a wealthy Jewish family in Berlin. From 1923 to 1926 she attended the private arts and crafts school Reimann in Berlin-Schoeneberg. She learned portrait drawing, life drawing and composition from her teachers Moriz Melzer and Georg Tappert. She also took courses in fashion and costume design. Already as a student she signed with her nickname "Dodo". At first she worked as a freelance fashion graphic designer for Vogue magazine, among others. Later she became an illustrator for the humorous weekly "Ulk", for which she provided numerous title pages and large-format double center pages. In 1936 she emigrated to London, where she worked as a commercial graphic designer and children's book illustrator. Her works from the 1920s stem from the New Objectivity and Art Deco styles. They wittily comment on the society of the Weimar Republic, which was shaped by pleasure-seeking and excess.
