According to Fridel Dethleffs-Edelmann working calendar 1915-1942, painted in September 1930 p. 29 - Coal drawing of an farmer with shot glass on table

Fridel Dethleffs-Edelmann and Hermann Tiebert both studied at the Badische Landeskunstschule in Karlsruhe - Fridel was friends with Emmy, the later wife of Tiebert. The Tieberts acquired a small farmhouse in Ried near Isny.

Fridel visited the friends in Isny again and again. They skied together - see watercolor 101136. Fridel painted together with Hermann Tiebert - see charcoal drawings 174047 and 172048. Fridels drawing by Hermann: 172022.

The friendship became even closer after Fridel 1931 the Isny manufacturer Arist Dethleffs had married. A little later, she also moved to Isny: Hermann became the patron of Ursula Dethleffs in 1933.

Both had later similar problems: both painted - long before the Nazis had seized power in Germany - their personal style. The "new practicality" was the starting point for both. This initially corresponded to the preferences of the nationalsocialist artists. & Nbsp;

Both exhibited again and again in the House of Art. Both paid for it after 1945 a high price. Nevertheless, Fridel Dethleffs-Edelmann became an important artist during the post-war period in the context of the Sezession Oberschwaben-Bodensee, which was co-founded by her. - See here Details:Werke/Künstlerfreunde/SOB.

Today, the political the problem is in Western Europe Largely solved: the quality of art is important, not the political direction of artists.
