Klaus Friedeberger was just 16 when he arrived in England as a German refugee from Nazism in 1939. One year later British authorities labelled him an ‘enemy alien’ and deported him to Australia on a prison ship.
Friedeberger spent a period of 18 months held in internment camps in the outback. His drawings and watercolours record the routine of the internees in the camps – manual work, playing football, sleeping, attending hut meetings – with the vast Australian landscape heightening the surreal experience.
A selection of Friedeberger's internment drawings are currently on display alongside pieces created when the artist was a teenager fleeing Nazism, and later works made in the 1950s after his return to the UK.
🖼 ‘Klaus Friederberger: drawings from an Australian internment’ is on display in Room 90a until 29 May – find out more and plan your visit via the link in our bio
