This computer catalogue shows the art of Friedl Dicker-Brandeis in an intuitive, non-academic way. It presents the art works not as the collection of museum items, but rather as an artist's way to see the world.
The themes section resembles a photo album rather then an art catalogue. It shows the portraits of Friedl's friends, the streets where she lived, the flowers that she liked, the textiles that she created. It gives the simpliest possible guide to the facts of life, that became subjects of Friedl's art.
The qualities section shows certain artistic qualities of the surrounding world, that an artist lives in: space, texture, movement. The categories chosen for this catalogue are just our first approach to the artistic character of Friedl Dicker-Brandeis. Future art historical research will lead this work to its completion.
