Richard Nagy Ltd. Richard Nagy Ltd. The Silverman Collection Preface by Richard Nagy Interview by Roger Bevan Essays by Robert Brown and Christian Witt-Dörring with Yves Macaux Richard Nagy Ltd Old Bond Street London Preface From our first meeting in New York it was clear; Benedict Silverman and I had a rapport. We preferred the same artists and we shared a lust for art and life in a remar kable meeting of minds. We were more in sync than we both knew at the time. I met Benedict in , at his then apartment on East th Street, the year most markets were stagnant if not contracting – stock, real estate and art, all were moribund – and just after he and his wife Jayne had bought the former William Randolph Hearst apartment on Riverside Drive. Benedict was negotiating for the air rights and selling art to fund the cash shortfall. A mutual friend introduced us to each other, hoping I would assist in the sale of a couple of Benedict’s Egon Schiele watercolours. The first, a quirky and difficult subject of , was sold promptly and very successfully – I think even to Benedict’s surprise. A second followed, a watercolour of a reclining woman naked – barring her green slippers – with splayed Richard Nagy Ltd. Richardlegs. It was also placed Nagy with alacrity in a celebrated Ltd. Hollywood collection. While both works were of high quality, I understood why Benedict could part with them. They were not the work of an artist that shouted: ‘This is me – this is what I can do.’ And I understood in the brief time we had spent together that Benedict wanted only art that had that special quality.

During the 1920s, Berlin flourished as centre of modern culture. Yet this flourishing did not exist exclusively amongst the intellectual elites that occupied the city centre and affluent western suburbs. It also extended into the proletarian districts to the north and east of the city. Within these areas existed a complex urban landscape that was rich with cultural tradition and artistic expression. This thesis seeks to redress the bias towards the centre of Berlin and its recognised cultural currents, by exploring the art and architecture found in the city’s working-class districts.

New Objectivity: Modern German Art in the Weimar Republic, 1919–1933
New Objectivity: Modern German Art in the Weimar Republic, 1919–1933 Neue Sachlichkeit, or New Objectivity, was an approach to art-making that emerged in Germany in the aftermath of World War I, simultaneous with the formation of the nation’s first democracy, the Weimar Republic. Less a style or a cohesive movement than a shared attitude, New Objectivity rejected the tendencies toward exoticism and impassioned subjectivity that had characterized Expressionism, the predominant prewar avant-garde. In contrast, artists who became associated with New Objectivity—a term popularized in 1925 by German art historian Gustav Friedrich Hartlaub—observed the modern environment with divergent styles that were sober, unsentimental, and graphic. This exhibition examines the varied ways these artists depicted and mediated contemporary reality; by presenting photography alongside painting and drawing, it offers the rare opportunity to examine and compare New Objectivity across its different media. While they were not unified by manifesto, political tendency, or geography, these artists did share a skepticism regarding German society in the years following World War I and an awareness of the human isolation brought about by social change. They chose themes from contemporary life, using realism to negotiate rapidly changing social and political conditions. By closely scrutinizing everyday objects, modern machinery, and new technologies, these artists rendered them unnatural—as uneasy as individuals alienated from each other and their surroundings. As if to correct the chaos of wartime, they became productive voyeurs, dissecting their subjects with laser focus, even when overemphasis on detail came at the expense of the composition as a whole. New Objectivity: Modern German Art during the Weimar Republic, 1919–1933 is divided into five thematic sections that address the competing and at times conflicting 1 approaches that the adherents to this new realism applied to the tumultuous and rapidly changing Weimar years.

11.10.2018 PRESS RELEASE Page 1 / 2 The exhibition PAINTER. MENTOR. MAGICIAN. is the first to spotlight the enormous influence of the former Brücke artist and expressionist Otto Mueller (1874–1930): for over ten years the artist was engaged as a teacher at the State Academy of Arts and Crafts in Wrocław, which at that time was one of the most progressive schools of art in Europe. Particu- larly from the 1920s onwards, the Wrocław Academy had a reputation for cosmopolitanism and liberality, thanks to the numerous new appoint- ments made by the director at that time, Oskar Moll. This was a place where the many-faceted movements in modern art stood side by side as equals: Expressionism with Otto Mueller, French Peinture of the Acadé- mie Matisse with Oskar Moll, New Objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit) with Alexander Kanoldt and Carlo Mense and Bauhaus with Oskar Schlemmer, Georg Muche or Johannes Molzahn. The main focus of the exhibition is on modernist painting: Otto Mueller and his network experienced a creative phase in Wrocław which they de- PRESS CONTACT scribed as highly productive and a direct result of their exchanges and EXHIBITION reciprocal influence.

Neue Sachlichkeit Neue Sachlichkeit (or The New Objectivity) was an artistic attitude that arose in Germany in the 1920s in reaction to Expressionism. Figure 1: The Eclipse of the Sun by George Grosz, 1926 George Grosz exemplified the verist style of New Objectivity. Neue Sachlichkeit meant to imply a turn towards practical engagement with the world – an all-business attitude, understood by Germans as intrinsically American. Leading up to World War I, much of the art world was under the influence of Futurism and Expressionism, both of which abandoned any sense of order or commitment to objectivity or tradition. Neue Sachlichkeit was a reaction against this. The New Objectivity comprised two tendencies, characterized in terms of a left and right wing: on the left were the verists (exemplified by George Grosz and Max Beckmann) and on the right the classicists (e.g., Georg Schrimpf). Note: New Objectivity (in German: Neue Sachlichkeit) is an artistic style that arose in Germany in the 1920s as a challenge to Expressionism. New Objectivity reflected an unsentimental reality instead of the more inward-looking, abstract or psychological, that were characteristic of Expressionism. Verists: the artistic preference of contemporary everyday subject matter instead of the heroic or legendary in art and literature; a form of realism. The word comes from Latin verus (true). Max Beckmann (1884 – 1950): a German painter, draftsman, printmaker, sculptor, and writer. Although he is classified as an Expressionist artist, he rejected both the term and the movement. In the 1920s, he was associated with the New Objectivity (Neue Sachlichkeit), an outgrowth of Expressionism that opposed its introverted emotionalism.

An examination of the work and the development of his career, raises questions about the historiography of twentieth-century German art, notably the accepted categorisations into which art history has classified it and the positioning of those categories. This study examines ways in which the categories can be redrawn and repositioned in order to accommodate Braun and others like him. 3 LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS Fig 1: Arthur Braun (right) and colleagues at the Badische Landeskunstschule, 1927 (Photograph courtesy of Gretel Bechtold, Freiburg).
