Sketches and Preparatory Drawings
As well as his large-scale works, Fritta's sketchbooks and many loose-leaf sketches from Theresienstadt have survived.
In his sketches, Fritta captured instantaneous impressions, experimented with drawing techniques, and transformed what he saw into ideas for finished drawings. The sketches show how carefully the artist composed his illegal creations, despite the life-threatening conditions around him. They contain the germ of the aesthetic processes that characterize Fritta's way of working and that are explored in this exhibition.
