Buch der erfüllten Wünsche [Book of Fulfilled Wishes], by Tom Seidmann-Freud. Potsdam: Müller & Kiepenheuer, 1929. German.

Book illustrated with Seidmann-Freud's delicate and lyrical drawings, colored in pochoir.

Tom Seidmann-Freud (1892-1930), painter, illustrator, and author, native of Vienna; niece of Sigmund Freud. Notwithstanding the brevity of her career (cut short by her suicide at age 38), Seidmann-Freud had a profound impact on 20th-century children's literature. Her distinctive style of illustration – characterized by simple, delicately colored geometric forms – is suggestive of the influence of "Neue Sachlichkeit" ("New Objectivity"), a modernist art movement that developed in Germany in the interwar period.
