  • Introduction
    Introduction BY ROBERT WELTSCH Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/leobaeck/article/8/1/IX/938684 by guest on 27 September 2021 No greater discrepancy can be imagined than that between the three men with whom we begin the present volume of the Year Book. It is almost a reflection of what, since Sir Charles Snow's famous lecture, has become the current formula of "The Two Cultures". Ismar Elbogen devoted his whole life to Jewish scholarship, he was a true representative of the humanities. Fritz Haber on the other hand was a great scientist, though his biographer, doctor and friend, is eager to point out that at his time the two cultures were not yet so far apart, and that Haber was devoted to poets like Goethe and himself made verses. But what about our third man? For his sake, we may be tempted to add to the array a "Third Culture", the world of Mammon, seen not from the aspect of greed, but, in this special case, to be linked in a unique way with active work for the good of fellow-men — in philanthropy of a magnitude which has very few parallels in the history of all nations. There is little that we could add, in the way of introduction, to the story of Baron Hirsch as told by Mr. Adler-Rudel. Among the Jewish public it is not always remembered that the man was a German Jew, a descendant of a Bavarian family of court bankers who acquired the castle of Gereuth. Owing to the early transfer of his residence to Brussels and later to Paris, and perhaps also due to his collaboration with the Alliance Israelite Universelle, Hirsch is in the mind of the uninformed public often associated with French Jewry.

Who are the significant figures and what are the greatest works in the German tradition? How do these figures and works relate to one another? What themes permeate the tradition? How are they like or unlike what one sees in other cultures? Are there distinctive and defining characteristics of the German tradition? What are the most productive and compelling questions with which to approach a work of literature or culture? These and related questions will be explored in this class. Students will read, discuss, and analyze selected texts representing prose, poetry, and drama. The will also be exposed to the visual arts, music, film, and philosophy.

The collection pushed the boundaries of the genre of the anthology into an aesthetic dimension, by which Pinthus straddles the role of both artist and literary critic. The first part of the thesis will situate lyrical Expressionism both in the philosophic traditions, which it inherits, and with the overall project of Modernism. Secondly, Menschheitsdämmerung acts as a metapoem of Expressionism. It is the figure of the Glaneur, who straddles the position between art and literary criticism to produce a literary epoch through a metapoem.

However, we also have had other reasons, such as unanticipated events putting us behind in our schedule. One topic on which we have fallen badly behind is deathmaking, so this will be the major theme of this issue. Dealing with the deathmaking issue is not only a depressing and oppressing task at best, so to speak; but on top of it all, we have so much copy on it that merely selecting what to include and what to put unreported into our archives is an overwhelming chore.

Back cover illustration: detail of Häuserstudie Nr. 1, 1911 ISBN 978-0-692-22260-7 Copyright@2014 by Frank Baron and Jon Blumb Table of Contents Preface vii Introduction 1 Record Book I 31 Record Book II 35 Black and White Figures 39 Color Plates 182 Appendix: Exhibitions 195 Index of Names 211 Index of Paintings 213 Preface On the one hand, this collection of Albert Bloch’s photographic “Record Books” represents, a unique chronicle of Bloch’s personal artistic career during a most active period. On the other hand, it indirectly reflects and documents the dramatic evolution of modern art in the early twentieth century. The “Record Books” provide a detailed log of paintings over the crucial decade of that development. Because of the age and crowded arrangement of Bloch’s photographs in the “Record Books,” it was necessary to reproduce the images individually. Decisions were based on tonality, contrast, and sharpness, to show these versions of vintage works in open tones and readable contrasts. This had to be done without altering the atmosphere and mood of the original art. Despite a wide range of problems with the prints pasted into the “Record Books,” the quality and detail of the original paintings is often amazingly clear and true. The sizes of the original photographs were maintained as closely as possible to give the impact Bloch intended in the original albums.
