Annemarie Scherer-Haßdenteufel
1910–1990 · St. Wendel, Saarland
Textile · Works on paper · Painting · Collage · Drawing
From textile design to free abstraction — a development in transitions. Weave becomes plane, plane becomes space. Scherer-Haßdenteufel thought in structures long before she thought in pictures; the Bauhaus echoes here, never as quotation, more as an attitude.
Work groups
- 01
Textile Design
1928–1945 · Textil, Gewebe
Early applied work. Designs, woven structures, the close study of warp and weft — a schooling of the eye that later carries everything.
- 02
Free Drawings
1945–1965 · Papier, Tusche, Bleistift
The weave loosens from function. Lines search, feel their way, repeat. Order turns into movement.
- 03
Painting
1965–1975 · Öl und Acryl auf Leinwand
Colour enters. The plane becomes a subject in its own right — structured, layered, never loud.
- 04
Collages
1970–1990 · Papier, Mischtechnik
Back to material. Cut, layered, pasted — the textile returns as gesture.
- 05
Abstract Landscapes
1970–1990 · Malerei auf Papier
Late work. Plane becomes space, structure becomes mood. Landscape without a horizon.

- —Where does textile design end and free art begin — and can that line be drawn at all?
- —What place does a regional post-war woman artist hold in a trans-regional art history?
