Rosemary Fret

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rosemarie Fret (born August 28, 1935 as Rosemarie Bock in Anklam ) is a German writer and photographer who wrote mainly short stories before the fall of the Wall and mainly published illustrated books after the fall of the Wall .

Life

Rosemarie Fret spent her childhood and youth in Anklam near the Baltic Sea and in Heringsdorf on Usedom . Her two grandfathers were formative caregivers. One was a bookbinder who read the books entrusted to him and sometimes kept them or, as he called them, "lost" them. As a result, there was a house library that was used by the granddaughter. The other grandfather was a painter and photographer. Fret was privately tutored in painting and music. In 1950 she left her parents' home to attend secondary school in Nauen near Berlin . After graduating in 1953, she began an apprenticeship as a photographer in Rostock , which lasted until she received her professional certificate in 1955. From 1955 to 1961 she studied at the University of Graphic and Book Art in Leipzig . Here she acquired a diploma as a photo graphic designer and was accepted into the Association of Visual Artists of the GDR (VBKD). Her work as a commercial artist and designer consisted of freelance collaboration, especially in photo ornamentation, with bookbinders, publishers and interior designers .

From 1965 to 1968 she studied at the "Johannes R. Becher" Institute for Literature in Leipzig . After finishing, she stayed in Leipzig, where she wrote literary works in addition to her professional activity as a freelance photographer and commercial artist. Photography served as a bread-and-butter job that enabled her to write. The first publications were made in anthologies . A collection of stories called postseason was published in 1973 by Hinstorff Verlag . A radio play was also created from her story Das Schattenkreuz .

She was a member of the Leipzig Writers' Association and led a circle of writing workers with the blind. She had already met a deaf-born photographer. Between 1984 and 2008, her experiences resulted in specialist articles on the subject of "Blind / Deaf".

After the fall of the Berlin Wall, she combined her photographic and literary talents by publishing several text-image volumes about the places where she spent part of her life.
