  • Hausenstein's Klee in the Year 1921, in His Book Kairuan, Oder Eine
    Charles W. Haxthausen Paul Klee, Wilhelm Hausenstein, and «the Problem of Style» Guten Tag, Monsieur Ich, was haben Sie heute für eine Krawatte umgebunden? möchte man manchmal einem «Kunstwerk» zu- rufen. Paul Klee, Tagebücher, 1906 Hausenstein’s Klee In the year 1921, in his book Kairuan, oder eine Geschichte vom Maler Klee und von der Kunst dieses Zeitalters, the eminent German art critic Wilhelm Hausenstein de- clared his subject the quintessential artist of his era. Yet his reasons made the honor an ambiguous one: Wir […] sind in die Epoche des Anarchischen und der Disgregation eingetreten. […] Der Malerzeichner Klee nahm von der Zeit, was sie war. Er sah, was sie nicht war; sah ihr Va- kuum, ihre Sprünge; sah ihre Ruinen und saß über ihnen. Sein Name bedeutet kein Sys- tem. Seine Kunst ist irrational, selbst in der raffiniertesten Überlegung naiv, ist der uner- hörten Verwirrung des Zeitalters hingegeben.1 Such gloomy words seem strangely discordant with our image of Klee. They must have seemed especially incongruous when read alongside the artworks illustrat- ing Hausenstein’s book. For most of us familiar with Klee’s art, his name evokes humor and charm, fantasy and poetry, witty and evocative titles, aesthetic en- chantment, delights for the mind as well as the eye—not «Sprünge» and «Ruinen», not anarchy and disintegration. What «Verwirrung» was Hausenstein talking about? To be sure, the confusion of modernity was by then a well-estab- lished trope, yet if we read Hausenstein’s previous writing we will see that he had something more specific in mind. The symptom of the confusion of the age was the confusion of styles, and that confusion was manifest in Klee’s art more than in any other.

The situation and state of research at the beginning of the project At the beginning of the project an assessment was made which groups of works within the collection are more likely to be linked to the “liquidation” of private and public collections during the Nazi dictatorship in Germany in the years from 1933 to 1945. It was found that there is only very patchy provenance information for the forty-two artworks donated in 2000 to the Kirchner Museum Davos by “Rosemarie and Konrad Baumgart-Möller in memory of Ferdinand Möller, Berlin.” Since “Möller” is one of the red-flag names in provenance research, the investigation of this part of the collection was given priority.

  • Morton Review
    REVIEWS: Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture 549 Morton, Marsha. Max Klinger and Wilhelmine Culture. On the Threshold of German Modernism. Farnham: Ashgate, 2014. 434 pp. £80.00 (hardcover). Max Klinger’s (1857–1920) life-size, polychrome marble sculpture of Ludwig van Beet- hoven formed the centerpiece of the 14th Vienna Secession Exhibition in 1902. In many ways, the exhibition wasasmuch a celebration ofthe Leipzig artist asit wasofthe great composer. By this point in time, Klinger had reached the zenith of his international fame as a modern artist and yet, his art historical position soon started to become increasingly precarious—especially after his death in 1920. Although his drawings and print cycles continued to enter private and public collections (especially in the United States), Klinger’s idiosyncratic realism—especially in his paintings—posed an insurmountable challenge to post-war formalism and abstraction. Klingerwasvirtuallyforgottenuntilthe1960sand1970s,whenaseriesofexhibitionsandpub- lications gradually generated renewed interest. Since then, Klinger slowly made his way back into the “story of modern art” but most of the scholarship continues to be offered in German. Marsha Morton’s 2014 publication under review here changes this unsatisfactory situation and makes a significant intervention not only in Klinger scholarship but also in the study of late nineteenth-century German art and culture more generally. Morton’s book is so multi-faceted that this short review cannot do it justice. But her key thesis is constructed around Klinger’s evocative visual engagement with the disquieting psy- chological undercurrents of modern urban life. This analytical emphasis on the psychological rather than an exclusively formalist modernism is part of a broader shift in the literature (the work of Debora L.

  • The Silverman Collection
    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.

    Fine Arts Status : Review ISSN: 1308 7290 (NWSAFA) Received: January 2016 ID: 2016.11.2.D0176 Accepted: April 2016 Doğan Arslan Istanbul Medeniyet University, [email protected], İstanbul-Turkey http://dx.doi.org/10.12739/NWSA.2016.11.2.D0176 HUMOR AND CRITICISM IN EUROPEAN ART ABSTRACT This article focused on the works of Bosh, Brughel, Archimboldo, Gillray, Grandville, Schön and Kubin, lived during and after the Renaissance, whose works contain humor and criticism. Although these artists lived in from different cultures and societies, their common tendencies were humor and criticism in their works. Due to the conditions of the period where these artists lived in, their artistic technic and style were different from each other, which effected humor and criticism in the works too. Analyzes and comments in this article are expected to provide information regarding the humor and criticism of today’s Europe. This research will indicate solid information regarding humor and tradition of criticism in Europe through comparisons and comments on the works of the artists. It is believed that, this research is considered to be useful for academicians, students, artists and readers who interested in humour and criticism in Europe. Keywords: Humour, Criticism, Bosch, Gillray, Grandville AVRUPA SANATINDA MİZAH VE ELEŞTİRİ ÖZ Bu makale, Avrupa Rönesans sanatı dönemi ve sonrasında yaşamış Bosch, Brueghel, Archimboldo, Gillray, Grandville, Schön ve Kubin gibi önemli sanatçıların çalışmalarında görülen mizah ve eleştiri üzerine kurgulanmıştır. Bahsedilen sanatçılar farklı toplum ve kültürde yaşamış olmasına rağmen, çalışmalarında ortak eğilim mizah ve eleştiriydi. Sanatçıların bulundukları dönemin şartları gereği çalışmalarındaki farklı teknik ve stiller, doğal olarak mizah ve eleştiriyi de etkilemiştir.

  • Tramonto Spaventoso April 22–June 5, 2021 456 North Camden Drive, Beverly Hills
    Tramonto Spaventoso April 22–June 5, 2021 456 North Camden Drive, Beverly Hills Albert Oehlen in his studio, Ispaster, Spain, 2020. Artwork © Albert Oehlen. Photo: Esther Freund March , Gagosian is pleased to present Tramonto Spaventoso, an exhibition by Albert Oehlen comprising the second part of his version of the Rothko Chapel in Houston as well as other new paintings. The first part of the project—consisting of four paintings that mirror the imposing scale of the Color Field compositions in the Chapel while opposing Rothko’s contemplativeness with their frenetic energy— was exhibited at the Serpentine Galleries, London, in –. Both parts make up the work Tramonto Spaventoso (–). Oehlen uses abstract, figurative, and collaged elements to disrupt the histories and conventions of modern painting. By adding improvised components, he unearths ever-new possibilities for the genre. While championing self-consciously amateurish “bad” painting, Oehlen continues to infuse expressive gesture with Surrealist attitude, openly disparaging the quest for reliable form and stable meaning. In the large-scale canvases on view at the Beverly Hills gallery, Oehlen employs acrylic, spray paint, charcoal, and patterned fabric to interpret and transform John Graham’s painting Tramonto Spaventoso (Terrifying Sunset, –), a work by the Russian-born American modernist painter that he discovered in the s and has been fascinated with ever since. Using Graham’s puzzle-like painting as a vehicle for repeated interpretation, Oehlen reconfigures elements in diverse and absurdist ways across multiple compositions. The exhibition, which goes by the same title, is therefore in part an homage to the earlier, lesser-known artist. Reworking motifs from Graham’s original, including a mermaid and a man sporting a monocle and a Daliesque handlebar moustache, Oehlen improvises on his source.
