Friedl Dicker-Brandeis was one of the most important students of the Weimar Bauhaus. Initially, she specialised in textile and graphic design, then later worked as an interior designer. Her paintings reflect her profound study of the classical avant-garde. The publication traces in detail the wide-ranging creative achievements of an artist who also suffered political persecution.

Friedl Dicker-Brandeis (1989-1944) was a painter, art teacher and politically active poster artist. The lavishly illustrated volume positions her work within the framework of Classic Modernism and shows how versatile she was as an artist. She was persecuted by the Nazi regime and tried until the end to encourage children in the ghetto of Theresienstadt to draw. The various text contributions describe the particular characteristics of her artistic work as well as the art therapy which she developed.

About the Author

Hemma Schmutz is an Austrian art and culture manager. Since May 2017 she has been artistic director of the Lentos Art Museum Linz and the Nordico City Museum.

Brigitte Reutner-Doneus is an art historian and curator at the Lentos Art Museum Linz.

The LENTOS Kunstmuseum Linz, which opened in 2003, is considered one of the most important museums of modern and contemporary art in Austria. Starting from the collection holdings, which focus on masterpieces of European painting from the first half of the 20th century and a rich collection of graphic art and high quality photography, LENTOS draws an arch from the classical historical art of the early 20th century to the most current art positions of today.
