Ritschl,O.

The opinion makers. A play in three acts. Typescript (1970/71). 4°. 1 nn. Sheet, 124 num. One-page inscr. Simple staple binding, the book block loosely bound in ocart. cover with cloth spine, the front cover with sign. Original woodcut by Wolff Mirus (pupil of O. Ritschl). (Covers partly bleached and with dampstains, with some marginal inscriptions and partly creased. Some creases). Otto Ritschl (1885-1976) began his artistic career as a writer for the theater around 1908 in addition to his bread-and-butter work. For example, his comedy "Der Rechnungsdirektor" premiered at the Hamburg Thaliatheater in 1915. After the end of the Second World War, he turned to painting as an autodidact and destroyed his manuscripts as a writer and occupied himself with expressionist painting. As a member and co-founder of various artists' associations in Wiesbaden and Darmstadt, he became acquainted with Felixmüller, Jawlensky, Max Ernst and was friends with Arnold Hensler, Edmund Fabri, Ernst Wolff-Malm and Franz Schaurte and developed into one of the most important abstract painters in Germany (classified as degenerate by the Nazis in 1937). It was not until 1970/71 that the artist returned to writing, working on two plays, the present play and "Der Hexenmeister", which he self-published in 1876, the year of his death. This typescript, probably still in the rough version, contains numerous corrections, additions and improvements in his own hand. - The last leaf loose, some leaves creased in the margins at the beginning.
