Abstract
Abstract The work of Breslau artist Heinrich Tischler (1892–1938), although well-known and investigated by researchers of local art milieu, mainly through exhibitions, has not yet received a deeper interpretation from the point of view of the complex and rich iconographic repertoire that has its roots in both Jewish and non-Jewish mystical thought, and in terms of the artist’s connections with the Jewish Expressionist community from Germany and Eastern Europe. Tischler, as a Jewish Expressionist whose work touched on messianic and apocalyptic themes, drew inspiration from the Kabbalah and included references to Christian iconography, as well as an element of the grotesque. This article focuses primarily on Tischler’s painting and graphic works, analyzing their Jewish idiom of messianic and apocalyptic motifs.
