Ateneum Publications Vol. 132. Helsinki: Finnish National Gallery / Ateneum Art Museum, 2020, 31–45 In 1909, the Italian poet and founder of the Futurist movement, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti famously declared, ‘[w]e will destroy the museums, libraries, academies of every kind’.1 He compared museums to cemeteries, ‘[i]dentical, surely, in the sinister promiscuity of so many bodies unknown to one another… where one lies forever beside hated or unknown beings’. This comparison of the museum with the cemetery has often been cited as an indication of the Futurists’ radical rejection of traditional institutions. It certainly made these institutions look dead. With habitual hyperbole Marinetti claimed: ‘We stand on the last promontory of the centuries!… Why should we look back […]? Time and Space died yesterday.’ The brutal breathlessness of Futurist thinking rejected all notions of a history of art.

  • Hidden Lives: Asceticism and Interiority in the Late Reformation, 1650-1745
    Hidden Lives: Asceticism and Interiority in the Late Reformation, 1650-1745 By Timothy Cotton Wright A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Jonathan Sheehan, chair Professor Ethan Shagan Professor Niklaus Largier Summer 2018 Abstract Hidden Lives: Asceticism and Interiority in the Late Reformation, 1650-1745 By Timothy Cotton Wright Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Jonathan Sheehan, Chair This dissertation explores a unique religious awakening among early modern Protestants whose primary feature was a revival of ascetic, monastic practices a century after the early Reformers condemned such practices. By the early seventeenth-century, a widespread dissatisfaction can be discerned among many awakened Protestants at the suppression of the monastic life and a new interest in reintroducing ascetic practices like celibacy, poverty, and solitary withdrawal to Protestant devotion. The introduction and chapter one explain how the absence of monasticism as an institutionally sanctioned means to express intensified holiness posed a problem to many Protestants. Large numbers of dissenters fled the mainstream Protestant religions—along with what they viewed as an increasingly materialistic, urbanized world—to seek new ways to experience God through lives of seclusion and ascetic self-deprival. In the following chapters, I show how this ascetic impulse drove the formation of new religious communities, transatlantic migration, and gave birth to new attitudes and practices toward sexuality and gender among Protestants. The study consists of four case studies, each examining a different non-conformist community that experimented with ascetic ritual and monasticism.

  • Carl Spitzweg and the Biedermeier
    UNIVERSITY OF PUGET SOUND “A CHRONIC TUBERCULOSIS:” CARL SPITZWEG AND THE BIEDERMEIER BENJAMIN BLOCK ART494 PROF. LINDA WILLIAMS March 13, 2014 1 Image List Fig. 1: Carl Spitzweg, English Tourists in Campagna (English Tourists Looking at Ruins). Oil on paper. 19.7 x 15.7 inches, c. 1845. Nationalgalerie, Staatliche Museen Preussicher Kulturbesitz, Berlin. 2 The Biedermeier period, which is formally framed between 1815 and 1848,1 remains one of the murkiest and least studied periods of European art. Nowhere is this more evident than in the volumes that comprise the contemporary English-language scholarship on the period. Georg Himmelheber, in the exhibition catalogue for Kunst des Biedermeier, his 1987 exhibition at the Münchner Stadtmuseum, states that the Biedermeier style was “a new variety of neo- classicism.”2 William Vaughan, on the other hand, in his work German Romantic Painting, inconsistently places Biedermeier painters in a “fluctuating space” between Romanticism and Biedermeier that occasionally includes elements of Realism as well.3 It is unusual to find such large discrepancies on such a fundamental point for any period in modern art historical scholarship, and the wide range of conclusions that have been drawn about the period and the art produced within indicate a widespread misunderstanding of Biedermeier art by scholars. While there have been recent works that point to a fuller understanding of the Biedermeier period, namely the exhibition catalogue for the 2001 exhibit Biedermeier: Art and Culture in Central Europe, 1815-1848 and Albert Boime’s Art in the Age of Civil Struggle, most broadly aimed survey texts still perpetuate an inaccurate view of the period, and some omit it altogether.

Their very particular kind of intensely colorful, expressive paint- ing, using a dense formal idiom that was moving toward abstraction, was based on a unique spiritual approach that opened up completely new possibilities for expression, ranging in style from a height- ened realism to abstraction.

    4527_BlauerReiter_180211_ENG_rl.indd I 06.07.11 09:16 INVITATION It is often difÞ cult for art-lovers seeking an introduction to a subject to Þ nd the right approach amid the bewildering array of literature available. Read on; you’ll not be bored! The aim of this book is to provide an entertaining but well-found- ed introduction to the world of the artists’ group the Blue Rider, which ß ourished in German in the early years of the twentieth century. The Þ rst seven chapters lead readers through the exciting period from 1908 until the First World War and let them witness the birth of the group. The views of the artists are described as well as their often complicated personal relationships with each other. The most important works are introduced and their signiÞ cance examined. In the last chapter there is, literally, much to discover, including the places in Bavaria where the members of the Blue Rider left their traces. The museums where you can admire the works of Kandinsky & Co. will be described, as will, as far as is possible today, the locations where it all happened. Where did the artists live; where were their studios; and where was the famous salon of Marianne von Werefkin, in which the artists drank, smoked and spent long nights in animated discussion? My sincere thanks go to the great authority on the Blue Rider, Dr. Annegret Hoberg of the Lenbachhaus in Munich, who encour- aged me to embark on this project and to whom I am grateful for important advice.
