Andrea Dezso takes the leitmotif of her life - an artist caught between civilizations - and gives it to us in crafted form. The entire body of her work, from the drawings and fragments of her journal, to the cut-out silhouettes, to the ceramic figures, to the needlepoint and kitchenware, is the material for a gigantic story: part fairytale, part diary, part chapter of world history. The total picture is so sad, magical, melancholy and hilarious that it couldn't possibly be true. but it is. Morgan Meis contributes a descriptive essay of Dezso's life and work. The Sackner Archive is listed as holding her pieces. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
