Author: Stefanie Kitzberger, Cosima Rainer, Linda Schadler (eds.)The work of Friedl Dicker-Brandeis occupies a key position in the broader history of the Austrian avant-garde while also deepening our understanding of modernism. This book explores the heterogeneity of Dicker’s work, reconstructs her artistic strategies and references to aesthetic and political discourses from the 1920s to the 1940s, and documents for the first time her works in the collection of the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Her work covers an impressive range of media and genres in the visual and applied arts. Influenced by her studies at Vienna’s Kunstgewerbeschule (which later became the University of Applied Arts Vienna), the Itten Private School, and the Bauhaus in Weimar, she worked as a painter, stage designer, architect, designer in Vienna and Berlin, in exile, and as a deportee.ISBN 9783110789065.
