Fritz Eichenberg (American, 1901-1990)

Eichenberg as Illustrator
Exhibition: April 7-30, 2011

After immigrating to New York in 1933 to escape mounting Nazi tensions, Fritz Eichenberg received many commissions to illustrate new editions of classic literature. In his prolific career as a book illustrator he visually interpreted many different styles of writing, but excelled in material with elements of spiritual and emotional conflict, fantasy, or social satire. Subsequently, Eichenberg produced some of his best graphic work with authors such as Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Charlotte and Emily Brönte, Edgar Allan Poe, and Grimmelshausen. During the month of April, the Antique Department presents an exhibition of Eichenberg’s literary illustrations which will include a complete set of woodblock prints for In Praise of Folly and several selections from Tales of Edgar Allan Poe.
