Abstract

Friedl Dicker (b. Vienna, 1898–d. Auschwitz, 1944) was a student of Johannes Itten at the Bauhaus, where she met Wolpe, who fell in love with her. Though she lived and worked with Franz Singer, she and Wolpe maintained a close friendship and collaborated on works for the musical theater. The charcoal portrait she made of Wolpe in about 1920 survived due to the fact that Dicker made a present of it to her Viennese friend Anny Wottitz (later Moller-Wottitz), who rescued it, bequeathed it to her daughter, Judith Adler, who was instrumental in having the drawing included in the Stefan Wolpe Collection of the Paul Sacher Foundation.
