Heinrich Zille's Berlin Selected Themes from 1900
"/v9 6a~ts1 HEINRICH ZILLE'S BERLIN SELECTED THEMES FROM 1900 TO 1914: THE TRIUMPH OF 'ART FROM THE GUTTER' THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Catherine Simke Nordstrom Denton, Texas May, 1985 Copyright by Catherine Simke Nordstrom 1985 Nordstrom, Catherine Simke, Heinrich Zille's Berlin Selected Themes from 1900 to 1914: The Trium of 'Art from the Gutter.' Master of Arts (Art History), May, 1985, 139 pp., 71 illustrations, bibliography, 64 titles. Heinrich Zille (1858-1929), an artist whose creative vision was concentrated on Berlin's working class, portrayed urban life with devastating accuracy and earthy humor. His direct and often crude rendering linked his drawings and prints with other artists who avoided sentimentality and idealization in their works. In fact, Zille first exhibited with the Berlin Secession in 1901, only months after Kaiser Wilhelm II denounced such art as Rinnsteinkunst, or 'art from the gutter.' Zille chose such themes as the resultant effects of over-crowded, unhealthy living conditions, the dissolution of the family, loss of personal dignity and economic exploi tation endured by the working class. But Zille also showed their entertainments, their diversions, their excesses. In so doing, Zille laid bare the grim and the droll realities of urban life, perceived with a steady, unflinching gaze.

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. -

The paper considers the relevance and use of a specific sort of visual source in sport history referred to as sporting art. After some theoretical reflec- tions on sport, sporting actions, and their perception and conversion by the media, the term sporting art is explained and discussed. Following, selected ex- amples are described, analyzed historically, interpreted and contextualized in detail. The focus is on examples of sporting art in Germany and the former German Democratic Republic. -

ARBEITSBERICHTE Geographisches Institut, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin M. Schulz (Hrsg.) Geographische Exkursionen in Berlin Teil 1 Heft 93 Berlin 2004 Arbeitsberichte Geographisches Institut Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Heft 93 M. Schulz (Hrsg.) Geographische Exkursionen in Berlin Teil 1 Berlin 2004 ISSN 0947 - 0360 Geographisches Institut Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Sitz: Rudower Chaussee 16 Unter den Linden 6 10099 Berlin (http://www.geographie.hu-berlin.de) Vorwort Der vorliegende Band ist im Rahmen eines Oberseminars zur Stadtentwicklung Berlins im Sommersemester 2002 entstanden. Die Leitidee der Lehrveranstaltung war die Kopplung von zwei wichtigen Arbeitsfeldern für Geographen - die Bearbeitung von stadtgeographischen Themen in ausgewählten Gebieten der Stadt und die Erarbeitung und Durchführung einer Exkursion zu diesem Thema. Jeder Teilnehmer konnte sich eine für ihn interessante Thematik auswählen und musste dann die Orte in Berlin suchen, in denen er das Thema im Rahmen einer zweistündigen Exkursion den anderen Teilnehmern des Oberseminars vorstellte. Das Ergebnis dieser Lehrveranstaltung liegt in Form eines Exkursionsführers vor. Die gewählten Exkursionsthemen spiegeln eine große Vielfalt wider. Sie wurden inhaltlich in drei Themenbereiche gegliedert: - Stadtsanierung im Wandel (drei Exkursionen) - Wandel eines Stadtgebietes als Spiegelbild politischer Umbrüche oder städtebaulicher Leitbilder (sieben Exkursionen) und - Bauliche Strukturen Berlins (drei Exkursionen). Die Exkursionen zeugen von dem großen Interesse aller beteiligten Studierenden an den selbst gewählten Themen. Alle haben mit großem Engagement die selbst erarbeitete Aufgabenstellung bearbeitet und viele neue Erkenntnisse gewonnen. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die Bereitschaft und Geduld von Herrn Patrick Klemm, den Texten der einzelnen Exkursionen ein einheitliches Layout zu geben, so dass die Ergebnisse nun in dieser ansprechenden Form vorliegen.

Questioning German Expressionism: Nazi Reception and Contradiction in the Art of Käthe Kollwitz
Questioning German Expressionism: Nazi Reception and Contradiction in the Art of Käthe Kollwitz Madeline Ullrich Dr. Juliet Bellow Department of Art History General University Honors Spring 2014 My research is a study of Käthe Kollwitz's reception by the Nazi regime from 1933-1945 rather than one that focuses on her artistic production. Despite remaining a practicing artist up to her death in 1945, few art historians correlate her career with significant political events of the 1930s and 40s, such as the rise of the Third Reich. Relegated a “degenerate” artist by Hitler, Kollwitz’s art was initially included Degenerate Exhibition of 1937; however, her work was quickly removed from this derogatory spectacle. In fact, the Nazis even appropriated her work for their own propaganda. Hence, my project is defined by a single term: contradictions. The inconsistent treatment of “degenerate” artists reflects contradictions in a variety of realms: Nazi ideology, the artistic movement of German Expressionism as a whole, and gender. Exploring these contradictions not only reveals more about Kollwitz at the end of her career, but also speaks to her position as a German artist in contemporary art historical discourse. Ullrich 1 Berlin, 1941. Picture a small, poorly lit apartment, cluttered with items one would see in the studio of an artist: clay, drop cloths, modeling blocks, and the like. This is the home of the renowned German artist Käthe Kollwitz, which also became her studio in 1940. When Otto Nagel, a close friend and fellow artist of Kollwitz, came to visit her in this modest apartment the following year, he found the usually calm and reserved Kollwitz beside herself with rage. -
East German Art and Cultural Politics: an Introduction by April A
East German Art and Cultural Politics: An Introduction By April A. Eisman 1 y On October 7, 1949, the Soviet Zone of Occupation in post-war Germany became the German Democratic r a r b i Republic (GDR, or East Germany). From the beginning, art played an important role in East Germany, where it L m l was viewed as a vital element in the development of the ‘all-around socialist personality.’ Artists were i F A F expected to create art that addressed the people, while the people were expected to be interested in art and E D e to explore their creative side. The form that this art was to take, however, was a source of frequent debate h t y b over the forty-year history of the GDR, and especially in the first two decades of the country’s existence. e s a Although many communist artists had embraced modernism during the Weimar Republic and were persecuted e l e R by the Nazis for both their political and aesthetic beliefs, the East German leadership often had difficulty D V D accepting modernist styles in these early years, in part because of the Soviet Union’s emphasis on a conser - A • vative style of socialist realism. Seeing similarities between the Soviets’ artistic style—one marked by opti - s t r o mism, monumentalism and a straightforward realism—and that of the Nazis, many East German artists, on h S x i the other hand, challenged its suitability for the GDR. The result was a cultural policy marked by freezes and S K R thaws depending on whose views—politicians’ or artists’—had the upper hand. -
