Per Wikipedia, Emil Preetorius (1883 - 1973) Was A German Illustrator And Graphic Artist. He Is Considered One Of The Most Important Stage Designers Of The First Half Of The 20Th Century. He Studied Law, Art History And Natural Sciences In Munich, Berlin And Giessen, Where He Was Awarded A Doctorate. He Then Attended The Munich School Of Applied Arts For A Short Time, But Mainly Trained Himself As A Painter And Draftsman.[1] In 1909 He Founded The School For Illustration And Book Trade In Munich Together With Paul Renner, Headed The Munich Training Workshops From 1910 And Became Head Of A Class For Illustration And A Class For Stage Art At The University Of Fine Arts In Munich In 1926, At Which He Became A Professor In 1928. In 1914 Preetorius, Franz Paul Glass, Friedrich Heubner, Carl Moos, Max Schwarzer, Valentin Zietara Founded The Artist Association "Die Sechs", One Of The First Artist Groups For The Marketing Of Advertising Orders, Especially Posters. Preetorius Created Illustrations For Numerous Fiction Works From 1908. He Belonged To The Circle Of Friends Of Thomas Mann, And Designed The Book Covers For The Novella A Man And His Dog, And The 1954 Novel Confessions Of Felix Krull. Preetorius Also Designed The Cover To The First Public Issue Of Heinrich Mann's Novel The Subject (1918). Preetorius Worked For The Munich Kammerspiele From 1923. In 1932 Preetorius Became The Stage Director Of The Bayreuth Festival. In 1941 Preetorius With The Help Of Both Winifred Wagner And Heinz Tietjen Attempted To Help A Dutch Jew Who Had Been Head Of The Wagner Society Of Amsterdam But The Following Year Preetorius Was Denounced To The Gestapo As "Philo-Semitic" Or "Jew Friend". Officially, His Accuser Was Dr. Gk, Namely Herbert Gerigk, The Head Of The Music Directorate In The Office Of The Fuhrer's Commissioner For The Supervision Of The Entire Intellectual And Ideological Training And Education Of The Nsdap (Ofcs), And The Co-Editor Of The Notorious Lexicon Of Jews In Music: But Preetorius Always Suspected That Someone Else Was His Real Accuser. Wieland Wagner, The Oldest Son Of Siegried And Winifred, And The Grandson Of The Composer Richard Wagner, Had For Some Time Been Attempting To Claim What He Regarded As His Rightful Inheritance, Namely The Artistic Directorship Of The Festival. Wieland Was Hitler's Favourite Of Winifred's Children And In Order To Ensure That Wieland Would One Day Become The Festival's Director, Hitler Had Exempted Wieland, Along With 24 Other Young Men, From Military Conscription. Others That Were Considered "Divinely Blessed" Included The Tenor Peter Anders, The Stage Designer Ulrich Roller, And The Composer Gottfried Muller.[3] Preetorius Was Briefly Held In Gestapo Detention, And Interrogated, His House Was Searched And His Mail Opened. It Was Discovered That Preetorius Had Been Corresponding On Friendly Terms With Jews In Holland. Preetorius Was Initially Forbidden To Work, And Declared An 'Enemy Of The State' By Gauletier Paul Giesler Of Munic. Preetorius Presented A Difficult Case For The Munich Authorities: As Well As His Closeness To Winifred And Tietjen, Preetorius Was Also Ranked By Hitler As One Of The Most Important Set Designers In Germany. Brigitte Hamannn Argues That The Intervention That Led To Preetorius' Reprieve Was Made By Hermann Goering, Initiated By Tietjen. When The Munich Authorities Contacted Hitler Asking What To Do Wih This Enemy Of The State Hitler Played The Whole Situation Down And Decided That Preetorius Should Be Freed And That He Could Continue To Work Despite His Attitude. Preetorius, However, Did Not Return To Bayreuth And He Didn't Enter The Festpielhaus For Ten Years. He Always Suspected That Wieland Was The Gestapo Informer And His Real Accuser. In 1951 Preetorius Retired. From 1947 To 1961 Preetorius Was A Member Of The Bavarian Senate.
