Achim Freyer. Works of visual art for the stage
Achim Freyer's design of the puppet figure of the "Brave Tailor" is representative of several thousand sheets of costume and stage designs as well as sketches for the musical and spoken theatre of the 20th century. From sketches, some the size of stamps, to elaborate stage designs and figurines, the diversity of the artistic work of the painter, director and stage designer Achim Freyer (born 1934) is represented. Optical scene sequences for selected productions are a special feature. These are elaborately produced small drawings in mixed technique, which were later often overdrawn and provided with handwritten notes or used as colour copies in individual parts for the work. Poster designs and drawings for animated and puppet films complete the collection.
