Nonetheless, as we shall see below, there were a great many parallels in their lives and in their artistic developments. Hofer, Purrmann and Rohlfs all enjoyed a full academic training. They learnt their “craft” the traditional way, attended a diversity of painting classes and were students of the leading artist- teachers at the renowned academies of their time. In 1897 Karl Hofer enrolled at the Karlsruhe Academy, where he became a master pupil of Hans Thoma in 1901. Only a year later, in 1902, he transferred to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart, where he was a master pupil of Leopold von Kalckreuth. Hans Purrmann attended the Arts and Crafts College, likewise in Karlsruhe, from 1897 until 1899, and later, until 1905, the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, where he studied, first under Gabriel von Hackl and then under Franz von Stuck, together with Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky and Rudolf Levy. Christian Rohlfs enrolled at the Grand Ducal Art College in Weimar in 1870, where he studied successively under the history and figure painter Paul Thumann, the genre painter Ferdinand Schauss and the Belgian nude painter Alexandre Struys. He later became one of Max Thedy's students until finally completing his training and becoming a fully fledged artist in 1884. The works of all three artists manifest the influence of the French Impressionists, not least through the typical Impressionist style of their early years. Sojourns in Paris, visits to exhibitions and also direct contact with the painters of the French avant-garde clearly left their mark on the work of all three artists. History tells us that Hofer first stayed in Paris in 1899. This was followed by a further stay in 1900, when he made the acquaintance of Julius Meier-Graefe. He later resided in the French capital between the years of 1908 and 1913. Hofer's work manifests the influence of Paul Cézanne more than any other Impressionist painter. Purrmann moved to Paris in 1905 after having seen works of the Impressionists at the German National Gallery and the Salon Cassirer in Berlin. He made the acquaintance of Pablo Picasso and also that of Henri Matisse, with whom he founded the so-called “Académie Matisse” in 1908 – with Matisse as the teacher and Purrmann as the massier, the person responsible for organization and administration. It was during this time that Purrmann's work was decisively influenced by the French Impressionists, and not least by Matisse. Inspiration also came from Cézanne, Renoir and Seurat, whose works Purrmann also collected. The artist remained in Paris until 1914, returning to Germany upon the outbreak of the First World War. By 1888, the works of Christian Rohlfs were also showing signs of a formal dissolution in the Impressionist sense, a development that Rohlfs saw confirmed only a short time later in the works of Monet, Pissarro and Sisley, which were on exhibition at the Grand Ducal Academy in Weimar in 1890, as the artist himself had noted in writing. Some time later – at the Folkwang Museum in Hagen after 1903 – Rohlfs became familiar with the works of Renoir, Signac, Gauguin and van Gogh, and also Munch, who were also to exercise a decisive influence on his style. 2 Hofer, Purrmann and Rohlfs had already attained considerable success prior to the outbreak of the Second World War. They had their own one-man exhibitions, took part in important group exhibitions, won scholarships and prizes and held important academic posts. Having at one time been mere pupils and students, they were now the masters and mentors who were to influence the younger generation. As teachers at the art colleges, they now shared their artistic experience and expertise with multitudes of students. In 1907 Meier-Graefe published an article in “Kunst und Künstler” entitled “New German Romans”, an article that gave Hofer his breakthrough in the German-speaking countries of Europe. There then followed a multitude of exhibitions at the most renowned galleries: Cassirer (Berlin), Tanner (Zürich), Alfred Flechtheim (Frankfurt am Main, later Berlin) and Kunstsalon Ludwig Schames (Frankfurt am Main), as well as such public institutions as Städtische Kunsthalle Mannheim, Kestner Gesellschaft (Hanover), Kunsthaus Zürich, Museum Folkwang (Essen), German National Gallery (Berlin). In 1909 Hofer took part for the first time in the exhibition of the “Berliner Secession”, which had been founded by the German Impressionist Max Liebermann. By 1922 Hofer had already become widely known abroad, with exhibitions at many venues, including Venice and, from 1925 onwards, the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh (every year until 1939), where he was also a member of the selecting jury. Since 1902 he had been receiving financial support from the Swiss industrialist and patron Theodor Reinhart, at first in the form of individual financial allowances and then by way of a contractually agreed grant until 1913. It was in this same year that Hofer became a member of the “Free Secession” in Berlin and exhibited in the following year together with Liebermann, Heckel, Kirchner, Pechstein and Schmidt-Rottluff. In 1920 he was appointed to a teaching post, later to a professorship, at the “United State School for Fine and Applied Art in Berlin”. In 1923 he was elected to the Prussian Academy of the Arts, where he entered its Senate in 1929, after having been appointed only a year before to the Board of Directors of the Deutscher Künstlerbund (Association of German Artists). For his part, Purrmann likewise exhibited, as early as 1918, at the Paul Cassirer Gallery in Berlin. Further exhibitions followed at the Pro Arte Gallery in Basel and the Alfred Flechtheim Gallery in Berlin. In 1915 he had been elected associate member of the “New Munich Secession” and frequently took part in its exhibitions. His membership lasted until 1937. In 1919, at the proposal of Liebermann and Slevogt, he became a member of the Prussian Academy of the Arts. Rohlfs, too, exhibited at the Alfred Flechtheim Gallery in Düsseldorf and the Paul Cassirer Gallery in Berlin, but also at other galleries: Neumann in Berlin, Garvens in Hanover, Nierendorf in Berlin, Commeter in Hamburg and Ferdinand Moeller in Berlin. He also had numerous one-man exhibitions at many important public galleries and museums, including the Museum Folkwang in Hagen, the German National Gallery in Berlin, the Municipal Museum of Erfurt, the Christian Rohlfs Museum in Hagen (founded in his honour in 1927 on the occasion of his 80th birthday), the Municipal Museum of Wuppertal, the Kunsthalle Bern, the Basel Art Museum and the Kunsthalle Zürich. Rohlfs took part in group exhibitions of the Berlin Secession and at the Academy of the Arts and the Deutscher Künstlerbund. His acquaintanceship with Karl Ernst Osthaus came about in 1900 through an introduction by Henry van de Velde, at the very time when Osthaus had founded the Folkwang Museum, where Rohlfs then moved into a studio at Osthaus's invitation. In 1902 Rohlfs – still in the capacity of a teacher – took over the directorship of the Weimar Academy and was later granted the title of “Professor”. In 1907 he became a member of the “Separate League of West German Art Lovers and Artists”, which had been founded by Karl Ernst Osthaus. Other memberships followed: the “New Secession” in Berlin and the “Folkwang Association” in Hagen, both in 1911, and the “Free Secession” in Berlin in 1914. In 1922 he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Technical University of Aachen. In 1924 Christian Rohlfs was granted the freedom of the City of Hagen and membership of the “Prussian Academy of the Arts” in Berlin. A year later he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Kiel and was elected associate member of the State Academy of Art in Düsseldorf. During the Nazi regime, one of the darkest periods of German history, all three artists suffered the same fate: they were relieved of their offices and dismissed from their posts. Their work was banned as “degenerate” and they were forbidden to exhibit or sell their works and were not even allowed to work as artists. Their works in public institutions were confiscated, some being exposed to ridicule in the exhibition “Degenerate Art” in Munich. Many works were sold abroad in exchange for foreign currency or even destroyed.

  • David Chipperfield Architects
    David Chipperfield Architects Museum Folkwang Essen, Germany 2007–2010 The Museum Folkwang, founded in Hagen by Karl Ernst Osthaus in 1902, was the first museum of contemporary art in Europe. The most significant works were transferred from Hagen to Essen in 1922, from which point on, aside from a period when the National Socialists temporarily divested the collection, the museum was able to pursue a high level of collecting activity. Today, it is one of the most high profile museums of the classic modern in Germany. In 2007, David Chipperfield Architects won the international architecture competition for the museum extension, held by the city of Essen, one year before Prof. Dr. Berthold Beitz, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Alfried Krupp von Bohlen and Halbach Foundation, announced that the foundation would be the sole sponsor in providing the funding for the new building. The building was constructed by the Neubau Museum Folkwang Essen GmbH, a company of the Wolff Group. The opening of the museum is one of the most important cultural events to be held in Essen and the Ruhr region during their time as European Capital of Culture 2010. The new building by David Chipperfield Architects complements the original building, continuing the architectural principle of an ensemble of six structures and four inner courtyards, gardens and galleries. The publicly accessible areas connect seamlessly with the existing exhibition areas. A generous open stairway leads from the Bismarckstraße into the new foyer, which takes the form of an open interior courtyard with a restaurant and a bookstore, and is protected from the street by a glass facade.

  • Paul Gauguin 8 February to 28 June 2015
    Media Release Paul Gauguin 8 February to 28 June 2015 With Paul Gauguin (1848-1903), the Fondation Beyeler presents one of the most important and fascinating artists in history. As one of the great European cultural highlights in the year 2015, the exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler brings together over fifty masterpieces by Gauguin from leading international museums and private collections. This is the most dazzling exhibition of masterpieces by this exceptional, groundbreaking French artist that has been held in Switzerland for sixty years; the last major retrospective in neighbouring countries dates back around ten years. Over six years in the making, the show is the most elaborate exhibition project in the Fondation Beyeler’s history. The museum is consequently expecting a record number of visitors. The exhibition features Gauguin’s multifaceted self-portraits as well as the visionary, spiritual paintings from his time in Brittany, but it mainly focuses on the world-famous paintings he created in Tahiti. In them, the artist celebrates his ideal of an unspoilt exotic world, harmoniously combining nature and culture, mysticism and eroticism, dream and reality. In addition to paintings, the exhibition includes a selection of Gauguin’s enigmatic sculptures that evoke the art of the South Seas that had by then already largely vanished. There is no art museum in the world exclusively devoted to Gauguin’s work, so the precious loans come from 13 countries: Switzerland, Germany, France, Spain, Belgium, Great Britain (England and Scotland),

  • THE PRESENCE of SAND in WASSILY KANDINSKY's PARISIAN PAINTINGS by ASHLEY DENISE MILLWOOD DR. LUCY CURZON, COMMITTEE CHAIR
    THE PRESENCE OF SAND IN WASSILY KANDINSKY’S PARISIAN PAINTINGS by ASHLEY DENISE MILLWOOD DR. LUCY CURZON, COMMITTEE CHAIR DR. MINDY NANCARROW DR. JESSICA DALLOW A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Joint Program in Art History in the Graduate Schools of The University of Alabama at Birmingham and The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2013 Copyright Ashley Denise Millwood 2013 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Despite the extensive research that has been done on Wassily Kandinsky, little has been said about his use of sand during the decade that he spent in Paris. During this time, Kandinsky’s work shows a significant shift in both style and technique. One particular innovation was the addition of sand, and I find it interesting that this aspect of Kandinsky’s career has not been fully explored. I saw Kandinsky’s use of sand as an interesting addition to his work, and I questioned his use of this material. The lack of research in this area gave me the opportunity to formulate a theory as to why Kandinsky used sand and no other extraneous material. This examination of Kandinsky’s use of sand will contribute to the overall understanding that we have of his work by providing us with a theory and a purpose behind his use of sand. The purpose was to underscore the spirituality that can be found in his artworks. ii DEDICATION I would like to dedicate this thesis to everyone who helped me in both my research and my writing.

  • Shifting Perspectives in the Venice Biennale's Hungarian Exhibition
    17 Looking Forwards or Back? Shifting Perspectives in the Venice Biennale’s Hungarian Exhibition: 1928 and 1948 KINGA BÓDI 268 Kinga Bódi Kinga Bódi, PhD, is curator at the Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest. As a doctoral fellow at the Swiss Institute for Art Research (SIK–ISEA) she investigated the cultural representation of Hungary at the Venice Biennale from its beginnings until 1948. In her present essay, Bódi jointly discusses the frst contemporary avant-garde Hungarian show in Venice in 1928 and the Biennale edition of 1948, which she interprets as a counterpoint of sorts to the one twenty years earlier, defned by conservative ideological principles and neo-Classicism. Her study examines the historical, social, cultural, political, artistic, professional, and personal background of these two specifc years of Hungarian participation in Venice. At the same time, her essay contributes to current international dialogues on the changing role of international exhibitions, curatorial activities, and (museum) collections. (BH) Looking Forwards or Back? Shifting Perspectives in the Venice Biennale’s Hungarian Exhibition: 1928 and 19481 From 1895 to 1948, it was self-evident that Hungary would take part in the Venice Biennale. During this period, the country too kept in step, more or less, with the artistic and conceptual changes that governed the Biennale, virtually the sole major international exhibition opportunity for Hungarian artists then and now. Tis is perhaps why, for the 124 years since the frst participation, the question of the Hungarian Pavilion has remained at the centre of domestic art-scene debates. Comparing nations has always been a facet of the Venice Biennale.

  • Das Umfassende Osthaus-Experiment – Leitbild Für Die Komplexität Des Bauhauses
    Das umfassende Osthaus-Experiment – Leitbild für die Komplexität des Bauhauses. Freundschaft. Karl Ernst Osthaus und Walter Gropius waren beste Freunde. Sie hatten sich zufällig im Sommer ### in Spanien kennen gelernt, genossen die Atmosphäre, hatten lange Gespräche. 400 Briefe umfasst die Korrespondenz Osthaus – Gropius. Karl Ernst Osthaus (1874–1921) war ein sehr großer, etwas ungelenk wirkender junger Mann, der aber einen gewaltigen und umfänglichen Ehrgeiz hatte, mit Geld sich sowohl ein kulturell wunderbares Leben zu machen sowie mit diesem Geld auch der Menschheit etwas Esentielles zu zeigen: Schönheit im täglichen Leben. Die Freundschaft hatte bedeutende Wirkungen: in Hagen und später in Weimar. Das Bauhaus verdankt Osthaus wichtige Grundlagen. Osthaus und Gropius waren Mitglieder in der neuen Reform-orientierten Vereinigung „Deutscher Werkbund“ und hatten dadurch viel Gesprächs-Stoff. Osthaus besaß die Phantasie und die Mittel, ein komplexes Unternehmen anzufangen, das man als den engsten und dichtesten Vorläufer des Bauhauses bezeichnen kann. Dessen Grundlagen legte zum Teil ein „Universal-Künstler,“ den Osthaus aus Belgien angeworben hatte: Henry van de Velde ((1863-1957). Aus den Niederlanden. die in dieser Zeit sehr wichtig waren, holte sich Osthaus mehrere bedeutende Künstler. ### Rasch kam in diesen Zusammenhang Peter Behrens (1868-1940). Wahrscheinlich von Osthaus empfohlen, erhielt Walter Gropius bei ihm als Assistent seine erste Stelle. Und dann bereitete Karl Ernst Osthaus, auch über Henry van de Velde, für Walter Gropius den Weg zur Gründung des Bauhauses. Umfangreicher Betrieb. Osthaus kauft am östlichen Rand der Stadt Hagen viel Gelände und läßt darauf ein ganzes Stadtviertel anlegen. Zugleich konzipiert und organisiert er darauf einen immens umfangreicher »Betrieb«. Die Vorstellung mag auch angeregt sein von der Industrialisierung, die sich in dieser Zeit im Ruhrgebiet entwickelt.
