The Art of Erich Lichtblau-Leskly
Erich Lichtblau-Leskley, a commercial designer from Czechoslovakia, was deported together with his wife Elsa to the Theresienstadt Ghetto in November 1942. Following the “Painters Affair,” in the fall of 1944, the Nazis began searches for incriminating documents and drawings. Fearing for his life, Erich Lichtblau-Leskly tore many of his paintings, destroyed almost all captions, and with the help of his wife Elsa hid the remaining pieces of the extensive Pictorial Ghetto Diary. After liberation, Elsa recovered the hidden fragments. In 1970s and in the beginning of 1980s, he replicated all ghetto-period watercolors in the large placard-size format. The museum exhibit showcases Erich Lichtblau-Leskly's original watercolors next to his recreated artwork.
