  Theater, dance and music play a major role in the watercolors of Johanna "Hansi" Reismayer-Fritsche. They reveal echoes of Viennese Kinetism. In the sheet "On Stage," however, the narrative and illustrative character predominates. "Everything turns - everything moves" - The musical and rhythmic elements can be linked to Reismayer-Fritsche's earliest childhood imprint as well as to her further artistic training. The artist received singing lessons as a young girl, designed graphics for Adolf Loos and studied with Josef Hoffmann and Franz Čižek. Franz Čižek, a reform pedagogue and art educator, taught his students the international avant-garde trends of the time - Cubism, Futurism, Expressionism and Abstraction. His class became groundbreaking within the Viennese avant-garde between 1919 and 1929 with its depiction of movement and its decomposition into rhythmic elements. A majority of Čižek's students were women. Reismayer-Fritsche worked primarily as a graphic artist and designed toys. After 1945, she designed lamp bases, wall shades, jewelry, and clocks for Oswald Haerdtl and took his place at the Academy of Applied Arts after his death in 1959. The partial estate of Reismayer-Fritsche with designs for costumes, toys, postcards, graphics and fashion is located in the Austrian National Library.
