Each left her country when the Nazis took power. Gerti Deutsch Gerti Deutsch, Oskar Kokoschka, Salzburg 1958 escaped Vienna for London in 1936, two years before Austria was annexed by the Germans. Jeanne Mandello had already fled Frankfurt in 1934, heading first for Paris and then for Montevideo in Uruguay. Gerti Deutsch: Vienna 1908 – 1979 London Born in 1908 and raised in the heart of Vienna, she trained as a photographer in 1933 – 1935 at the Graphische Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt in her native town. Austrofascism had already curtailed the liberal lifestyle and its propaganda proclaimed a visual aesthetic in photography that glorified the homeland. Gerti Deutsch, on the other hand, preferred everyday motifs that were at odds with this norm, such as her high-angle shot of people waiting at a provincial railway station (1930s), and the diagonals that were a hallmark of modern photography. In 1936 she left Vienna for London, where her principal client until 1950 was the liberal, anti-fascist “Picture Post”, founded by Stefan Lorant in 1938. She produced 64 pictorial Jeanne Mandello, Arbeiter, reports on cultural topics and current affairs, including photographic series on subjects Montevideo 1945 like the Jewish refugee children brought over from Germany (1938) or Austrian POWs Duration returning home from the war (1948).

Er stellt nicht nur transpa- rent Zahlen und Fakten dar, er zeigt vor allem die Bandbreite der Kunstförderung und den Erfolg des künstlerischen Schaffens in der Literatur, am Theater, in der Musik, im Film, in der bildenden Kunst sowie die Arbeit der regionalen Kulturinstitutionen. Gemeinsam können wir auf ein gutes Jahr für die Kunst zurückblicken: nationale und internationale Preise für den österreichischen Film, die Umsetzung der Kinodigitalisie- rung für die Programmkinos, ein vielbeachteter Beitrag Österreichs bei der Kunstbiennale in Venedig, weitere Stärkung des zeitgenössischen Kunstschaffens und die nachhaltige © Hans Ringhofer Umsetzung der Nachwuchsförderung und Kulturvermittlung. Um eine kontinuierliche Tätigkeit zu ermöglichen, bedarf es eines stabilen Budgets. Trotz der Konsolidierung des Staatshaushaltes, die zu Kürzungen in einigen Ressorts geführt hat, ist es uns im Bereich der Kunst und Kultur gelungen, die Budgets und die Ausgaben stabil zu halten. Darin drückt sich das klare Bekenntnis zur Verantwortung des Staates für die Förderung von Kunst aus.

  • Timm Starl „Gerti Deutsch of Vienna“ Die Fotografin Gerti Deutsch
    Timm Starl „Gerti Deutsch of Vienna“ Die Fotografin Gerti Deutsch Arbeiten 1935 – 1965 Vorwort von Wolf Suschitzky, Biografie von Amanda Hopkinson, Text von Sabine Coelsch- Foisner, Bildauswahl und Kommentare von Kurt Kaindl hrsg. von Kurt Kaindl Salzburg: Edition Fotohof, 2011 25 x 21,5 cm, 142 S., 150 Abb. in Farbe Broschiert € 29,- Sie ist Österreicherin, kommt im ersten Jahrzehnt des 20. Jahrhunderts als Tochter wohlha- bender Eltern zur Welt und erlebt ihre Jugend in einer bürgerlichen Familie in Wien. Zu- nächst einen musikalischen Beruf anstrebend, beginnt sie in den 1930er Jahren zu fotografie- ren, lebt einige Jahre in Frankreich und emigriert gegen Ende des Jahrzehnts ins englischspra- chige Ausland, wo sie als Fotografin reüssieren kann. Ihre Motive sucht sie häufig auf den Straßen der Großstädte. Nein, es handelt sich nicht um die in Fotokreisen sattsam bekannte Lisette Model (1901–1983), sondern um die bislang in den Fotogeschichten kaum beachtete Gerti Deutsch. Dass die Parallelen in den Biografien nicht aufgetan werden, liegt an den Au- torinnen, die sich in der vorliegenden Publikation mit Leben und Werk der Fotografin be- schäftigen. Sie blicken nicht über ihren Gegenstand hinaus und übersehen die vielfältigen sozialen und kulturellen Entsprechungen in den Lebensläufen jüdischer Fotografinnen in der Zwi- schenkriegszeit, wie sie bereits in diversen Veröffentlichungen dargestellt worden sind. Viel- mehr wird eine geradezu typische Erscheinung als einzigartig herausgestellt. Dies mag daran liegen, dass die beiden Verfasserinnen der Texte als Literaturwissenschaftlerinnen tätig sind beziehungsweise waren und Amanda Hopkinson zudem die Tochter von Gerti Deutsch ist. Damit eröffnen sich andere Zugänge und Aussichten, was durchaus Vorteile mit sich bringt.

  • Eileen Nairn 2013
    Braver than any man: Revealed for the first time, the awe-inspiring courage of two British sisters who waged a one-family war on the Nazis - and were left with emotional scars that never healed - Eileen 'Didi Nearne By Annabel Venning for MailOnline Published: 22:41 BST, 2 May 2013 | Updated: 22:41 BST, 2 May 2013 Hunched over a wireless set, alone in a safe house in a Parisian suburb on a rainy morning in July 1944, Didi Nearne tapped out a Morse Code message. It contained urgent information from the leader of her Resistance network to intelligence chiefs back in London. A month earlier, Allied armies had landed in Normandy and the battle for France was raging fiercely. Agents of SOE — the Special Operations Executive — played a vital role sabotaging German communications and relaying information about troop movements and weapons back to Britain. Furious, the Germans redoubled their efforts to catch SOE agents. Their radio-detecting vans combed the streets, seeking out signals that would lead them to the wireless operators laboriously tapping out their messages. The average SOE wireless operator in Occupied France lasted for just six weeks before being arrested. Didi, 21, had survived for five months, making an astonishing 105 transmissions. If caught, she faced imprisonment, perhaps torture and execution. Four female SOE agents had been put to death in a concentration camp by lethal injection that month. They were cremated, but evidence emerged later that some of them were still alive when they went into the ovens. Brave: Eileen 'Didi Nearne operated as an undercover agent called 'Rose' in Occupied France and was caught and tortured by the Nazis.
