[The National Library of Israel] This niece of the famous Sigmund Freud adopted a man's name in her teens so that her art would be given a fair chance by the European patriarchal art world. This is one of her best known delightful children's books that endured despite the holocaust. An artist of the avant-garde movement, her work has also been described as surreal, modern, dreamy, and even "whimsically apocalyptic" by one critic.
