The virtuosity in handling colors and visions that has made the artist Friedrich Hechelmann famous reached its peak in various fairy tale illustrations. The entire multifaceted richness of the Brothers Grimm's fairy tales, from Hans Christian Andersen to Wilhelm Hauff, was illustrated by him with images that sensitively and subtly illuminate the uniqueness of these timeless stories. They open the boundaries to unconscious desires and ideas and lead into the deep, symbol-laden truth of the fairy tale world. The fairy tale illustrations are among the most well-known and beloved works of Friedrich Hechelmann. Long out of print but always in demand, they are now being reissued as a large book of fairy tales, a bibliophile treasure in a special edition.
