⁂ Hedi Schick, a Jewish woman, was forced to escape Nazi prosecution in Austria during the late 1930s, following which she came to London where she began working in theatre. Much in the present lots are from the early years of her time in Britain, however many of the works still show the influences of Otto Dix and his contemporaries, which came from her time studying at the Vienna Kunstgewerbeschule (School of Applied Arts) in the early 1930s. Schick became a British citizen in 1947.
