Through a Narrow Window:
Friedl Dicker-Brandeis and Her Terezin Students
January 28 to March 13, 2011
Through a Narrow Window: Friedl Dicker-Brandeis and Her Terezín Students offers a rare glimpse into the working methods of an artist whose education and art practice compelled her to become an art teacher under extremely dire circumstances. The twenty-nine works exhibited here span Dicker-Brandeis’s student years at the Weimar Bauhaus, her mature years, and the twenty-one months she was interned in Terezín. The twenty-eight student works represent the children and adolescents who studied with Dicker-Brandeis during their internment in Terezín 1943-44, a prison-ghetto characterized by the Nazi regime as a model concentration camp, situated fifty miles north of Prague.
This exhibition is guest curated by Linney Wix, Associate Professor in the Art Education Program and is a collaborative project between the College of Education and the UNM Art Museum.
Support has been provided by many generous individuals and by the City of Albuquerque, the Urban Enhancement Trust Fund, the McCune Charitable Trust, the Isaac Liberman Foundation, the Grant Family Foundation,and at UNM The Office of the President, Office of Academic Affairs, the College of Education and the College of Fine Arts. Additional thanks to the Albuquerque High School Fine Arts Academy students and faculty, Catherine Eaves, Sara Bernstein, Forrest Agee and Mark Davidson.
