discussion with the artist's nephew
Černý Petr – A Deck of Cards that little Petr Haimann brought home from the Terezín ghetto and stored in a drawer for eighty long years. These cards are the main theme of the exhibition "Černý Petr from Terezín" at the Memory of Nations Institute, along with Petr Haimann's early works. Thanks to the detailed research on cultural and artistic events in the Terezín ghetto, during the preparations for the art competition to complete the missing card for the game "Černý Petr from Terezín", it was revealed that the author of the original cards might not be as anonymous as previously thought. The distinctive artistic style suggests that the creator of the cards is probably Marianne Fröhlich. Her nephew, Friedrich Psenicka, accepted the invitation to the discussion about the life and work of the Austrian artist.
