„Ich bereite vor: eine Ausstellung nach meinem Tode.“: Zum grafischen, malerischen und kalligrafischen Werk von F.H. Ernst Schneidler
Friedrich Hermann Ernst Schneidler’s (1882 – 1956) work is defined by his creation as a book artist, commercial artist and professor of fonts and graphic design; it is what he is particularly renowned for within the literary world. However, in his 50 yearlong creative period, he also produces a vast corpus of fine art pieces on the sidelines to his daily work - a corpus he mostly keeps concealed from the public. Only a few of his closest confidants are lucky enough to be permitted a glance at these works, he devotes his nights and vacations to.
Therefore, this book mainly discusses Schneidler’s rather under researched alternative corpus. How it came into being will be linked to a context of art history and biographically as well as historically analyzed.
