Letting That Go, Keeping This: The Spiritual Pilgrimage of Fritz Eichenberg
When Fritz Eichenberg emigrated from Germany to the United States in 1933, he was young and green. The Depression was raging, and he had little going for him but an art school education and a deeply ingrained longing to be an artist.
Fifty years later, Eichenberg's wood engravings and lithographs had received international acclaim and had, in one sense, brought music into the lives of numberless people. Art critics admired his sense of drama, his power, his passion for his craft. And thousands of ordinary people loved Fritz Eichenberg because he so obviously loved them and could portray their hopes and troubles in a way that needed no critic's interpretation. He was probably one of the few artists whose works were found in museums and art galleries as well as in tenements and soup kitchens.
I've thought especially about Eichenberg's guardian angel and wondered what forms it might have taken. As we think together about Fritz Eichenberg's spiritual pilgrimage, I would like us to focus on five of these special influences that, I believe, guided him along on his journey.
