This self-guide was created by Deborah Sepulvida, the Frye’s manager of student and teacher programs, and teaching artist Chelsea Green. FOR EDUCATORS GETTING STARTED This guide includes a variety of materials designed to help educators and students prepare for their visit to the exhibition The Munich Secession and America, which is on view at the Frye Art Museum, January 24–April 12, 2009. Materials include resources and activities for use before, during, and after visits. The goal of this guide is to challenge students to think critically about what they see and to engage in the process of experiencing and discussing art. It is intended to facilitate students’ personal discoveries about art and is aimed at strengthening the skills that allow students to view art independently. Enjoy! ABOUT THE FRYE ART MUSEUM The Frye Art Museum is dedicated to artistic inquiry, a rich visitor experience, and civic responsibility. A primary catalyst for our engagement with contemporary art and artists is the Founding Collection of late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century art by Munich- based artists. Admission to the Museum will always be free. Located on Seattle’s First Hill, the Frye Art Museum first opened its doors in 1952 as the legacy of Charles and Emma Frye, prominent early- twentieth-century Seattle business leaders and art collectors. Since that time, works from the Frye Founding Collection of 232 paintings, primarily by Munich-based artists, have continuously been on view. The Museum also hosts notable exhibitions of works by recognized and emerging artists from around the world. The Munich Secession and America is an especially important exhibition for the Museum, as the Frye is perhaps the only American institution whose Founding Collection was dedicated primarily to the artists of the Munich Secession and their predecessors. 3 THE MUNICH SECESSION AND AMERICA was dedicated primarily to the artists of the Munich Secession and The Munich Secession and America marks the first American exhibition their predecessors, the Frye is proud to present seventy exemplary in one hundred years dedicated to the renowned Munich Secession masterpieces produced by artists of the Munich Secession and the movement.

Also included in the exhibition are works by a number of the guest artists who exhibited The Frye is able to present important paintings of the period, many with the Munich Secession: Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, Nicolai Fechin, of which will be seen for the first time in America, with the generous Théodore Rousseau, Alfred Sisley, and Narcisse Virgilio Diaz de la Peña. support of major museums in Germany such as the Municipal Gallery in the Lenbachhaus, Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen (The Bavarian Radically changing the manner in which artworks were presented in State Painting Collections), Neue Pinakothek, and the Museum Villa exhibitions, the Munich Secession illustrated a diversity of avant-garde Stuck in Munich; the Berlinische Galerie and Art Library of the State techniques and philosophies that stunned American audiences when Museums of Berlin; the State Museum Mainz; the Municipal Gallery in exhibited at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art in January 1909, Dresden; and the Art Museums of Krefeld: Kaiser Wilhelm Museum, the and in April of the same year at the Art Institute of Chicago.

The exhibition galleries of the Munich Secession, in a purpose-built, “modern” building with light-colored walls and a gold geometric frieze designed by Franz von Stuck, astonished audiences of the time. In 1906, the director of Buffalo’s Albright-Knox Art Gallery described seeing exhibitions there: “The general effect of the Secession galleries this year surpasses anything of the kind which the writer hitherto has seen.” As perhaps the only American institution whose Founding Collection 4 FOR STUDENTS WELCOME! The Frye Art Museum is a fifty-six-year-old museum located on First Hill in Seattle. It was founded by Charles and Emma Frye, who were Seattle business leaders and art collectors. The Frye was founded with a collection of paintings by primarily Munich-based artists. Today the Museum exhibits a variety of works from all over the world– both historic and contemporary–inspired by its Founding Collection. The coolest part about the Frye is that it is the only Seattle museum that is totally FREE to visit! EXPERIENCING ART AT THE FRYE Visiting a museum may seem intimidating. It is often quiet and you are almost never allowed to touch anything. The truth is, museums can be exciting and dynamic community spaces that encourage discussion and debate, and may even inspire you to create your own art-works. The key is to enter with an open mind. Be ready to see some things– both old and new–that challenge the way you view the world. You don’t have to be an art history buff–just be ready to learn a little about the context (place and time) the artworks were created in. Most important, have a point of view. Everyone experiences art differently. Take some time with works that draw your attention. Think about what they may be saying to you. Feel free to take notes, sketch what you see, and ask questions. 5 A LITTLE CONTEXT The current exhibition at the Frye Art Museum is titled The Munich Secession and America.

  • Erich Mercker and “Technical Subjects”: Industrial Painting in the Eras of Weimar and Nazi Germany
    H-Labor-Arts Erich Mercker and “Technical Subjects”: Industrial Painting in the Eras of Weimar and Nazi Germany Discussion published by Patrick Jung on Saturday, October 7, 2017 (Copyright 2008, Society of Industrial Archeology and reprinted with permission) From the author: This article was published earlier in Industrial Archaeology: The Journal of the Society for Industrial Archeology, vol. 34, nos. 1 & 2. It is reproduced here on H-Labor Arts to make it available to a wider audience. I wrote this article while I was in the midst of finishing a book-length manuscript on Erich Mercker, who was, undoubtedly, one of the top industrial artists in Germany from 1919 to 1945. He and his contemporaries (e.g., Fritz Gärtner, Franz Gerwin, Ria Picco-Rückert, Leonhard Sandrock, and Richard Gessner) constituted a school of artists who I have provisionally labeled the “Heroic School” of German industrial art from 1919 to 1945. The Grohmann Museum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin has paintings produced by virtually all of these artists. It also has more than 90 paintings by Erich Mercker, more than any other art museum in the world. Thus, it is fitting this article should appear on the H-Labor Arts site titled “From the Grohmann….” I also hope this essay will spur more research into Mercker and his “Heroic School” contemporaries, all of whom produced some of the most stunning examples of industrial art during the course of the early twentieth century. Those interested in reading the full-length biography on Erich Mercker (for which this article paved the way) should contact the Grohmann Museum at [email protected].

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 yscit5 7'0S23 Abstract Secession has been noticeably absent from International Relations theory although its role in the creation and recognition of states is clearly relevant. Traditionally, the dominant perspectives in IR have not questioned state formation and this has effectively barred secession as a topic since it cannot be thoroughly treated without looking across the inside/outside divide of state sovereignty. Secession must be placed in its historical context — as a phenomenon only possible in the modem era and only perceived as a global threat in this century. Theorists from other disciphnes who have discussed secession have rehed on a problem­ solving theoretical perspective which has kept them from considering secession as an outcome of problematic assumptions about identity and territory in the international system.

  • Klirnt and Schiele Stephan Kleinschuster May 6, 1997 AR592
    The Evolution of Expressionism In Turn-of-the-Century Vienna: Klirnt and Schiele Stephan Kleinschuster May 6, 1997 AR592 1 1 Until 1897, Classicism in Viennese high art had served as a mimetic construct of the elite society who were both art's staunchest supporters and the purveyors of moral and philosophical values that served as it's staple of judgment. In the following years, from 1898 to 1918, were revolutions of both natures, political and philosophical. The artistic transformation from the Classicism of the Habsburg Monarchy to the expressionism of the Cafe "Nihilism" could be seen most obviously in two of Vienna's foremost artists of the time, Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele. This paper seeks to compare and contrast the works of these two artists who seem to crystallize the moral, social, political, and artistic upheaval of early Twentieth Century Vienna. It lS fitting that Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele died six months from one another, both of the Spanish influenza, and both in 1918. It is important to note that even though stylistic variables call for their ultimate contrast, they loved and admired one another, and they both stood for the values that defined Secessionism. Their proximity in philosophy makes it all the more profound to discover their differences. In Klimt came classical objectivity housed in a contemporary conceptual framework. In Schiele came the shift to brutal subjectivity that pushed the limits of this framework. Even though, as will be discussed, the similarity of the subject matter seems to remain a constant, the execution becomes the variable upon which the change becomes dependent.

  • Guide to International Decorative Art Styles Displayed at Kirkland Museum
    1 Guide to International Decorative Art Styles Displayed at Kirkland Museum (by Hugh Grant, Founding Director and Curator, Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art) Kirkland Museum’s decorative art collection contains more than 15,000 objects which have been chosen to demonstrate the major design styles from the later 19th century into the 21st century. About 3,500 design works are on view at any one time and many have been loaned to other organizations. We are recognized as having one of the most important international modernist collections displayed in any North American museum. Many of the designers listed below—but not all—have works in the Kirkland Museum collection. Each design movement is certainly a confirmation of human ingenuity, imagination and a triumph of the positive aspects of the human spirit. Arts & Crafts, International 1860–c. 1918; American 1876–early 1920s Arts & Crafts can be seen as the first modernistic design style to break with Victorian and other fashionable styles of the time, beginning in the 1860s in England and specifically dating to the Red House of 1860 of William Morris (1834–1896). Arts & Crafts is a philosophy as much as a design style or movement, stemming from its application by William Morris and others who were influenced, to one degree or another, by the writings of John Ruskin and A. W. N. Pugin. In a reaction against the mass production of cheap, badly- designed, machine-made goods, and its demeaning treatment of workers, Morris and others championed hand- made craftsmanship with quality materials done in supportive communes—which were seen as a revival of the medieval guilds and a return to artisan workshops.

  • A Moral Persuasion: the Nazi-Looted Art Recoveries of the Max Stern Art Restitution Project, 2002-2013
    A MORAL PERSUASION: THE NAZI-LOOTED ART RECOVERIES OF THE MAX STERN ART RESTITUTION PROJECT, 2002-2013 by Sara J. Angel A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of PhD Graduate Department Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Sara J. Angel 2017 PhD Abstract A Moral Persuasion: The Nazi-Looted Art Recoveries of the Max Stern Art Restitution Project, 2002-2013 Sara J. Angel Department of Art University of Toronto Year of convocation: 2017 In 1937, under Gestapo orders, the Nazis forced the Düsseldorf-born Jewish art dealer Max Stern to sell over 200 of his family’s paintings at Lempertz, a Cologne-based auction house. Stern kept this fact a secret for the rest of his life despite escaping from Europe to Montreal, Canada, where he settled and became one of the country’s leading art dealers by the mid-twentieth century. A decade after Stern’s death in 1987, his heirs (McGill University, Concordia University, and The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) discovered the details of what he had lost, and how in the post-war years Stern travelled to Germany in an attempt to reclaim his art. To honour the memory of Max Stern, they founded the Montreal- based Max Stern Art Restitution Project in 2002, dedicated to regaining ownership of his art and to the study of Holocaust-era plunder and recovery. This dissertation presents the histories and circumstances of the first twelve paintings claimed by the organization in the context of the broader history of Nazi-looted art between 1933-2012. Organized into thematic chapters, the dissertation documents how, by following a carefully devised approach of moral persuasion that combines practices like publicity, provenance studies, law enforcement, and legal precedents, the Max Stern Art Restitution Project set international precedents in the return of cultural property.
