    FROM RUSSIA TO OKLAHOMA: A CASE STUDY OF THE IMMIGRANT EXPERIENCE By GARY LYNN WATTERS Bachelor of Arts Oklahoma State University Stillwater, Oklahoma 1972 Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate College of the Oklahoma State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS December, 1974 FROM RUSSIA TO OKLAHOMA: A CASE STUDY OF THE IMMIGRANT EXPERIENCE Thesis Approved: Dean of the Graduate College ii PREFACE This study is an attempt to examine in microcosm the impact of immigration in the development of Oklahoma by exploring the role played by the Russian immigrant in the early settlement of the state. A brief overview of the character of Russian immigration is offered first, and this is followed by three case studies of immigrant families from Rus­ sia who settled in Oklahoma. This has been done for two reasons: to better enable the reader to understand the individual immigrant experience and to point out the importance of immigration upon the state of Oklahoma. The study con~ eludes by examining the significance of the immigrant and pointing out the uniqueness of the individual immigrant experience. This is accom­ plished by an examination of certain contrasts and comparisons of the three families under consideration. I wish to acknowledge and offer my warmest gratitude to the number of second generation Americans who spent countless hours describing the immigration experiences of a father or brother. These include Milton, Jake, and Mike May, who made the story of the Russian Jew in Oklahoma a reality. The efforts of Mrs. Martha Horn, Mrs.

Scholars ask `What if?' What if Schwitters had got a passport to United States and had joined other artists in exile? He would have continued making Merz with American material. He would have had no `need' to paint figuratively.1 Would he have fitted his past into an even more `modernist' mould like his friend Naum Gabo, to please the New Yorkers?2 Surely not. `Emigration is the best school of dialectics' declared Bertold Brecht.3 Schwitters' last period must be investigated not in terms of `exile' but the dialectics of exile: as a future which cuts off a past which lives on through it all the more intensely in memory, repetition, recreation. `Exile' moreover is a purely negative term, foreclosing all the inspirational possibilities of a new `genius loci', a spirit of place: England. The Germany Schwitters knew was disfigured, disintegrating, self-destructing. His longing was for place which was no more. His Merzbau was destroyed by Allied bombing in 1943; Helma died in 1944: `Hanover a heap of ruins, Berlin destroyed, and you're not allowed to say how you feel.'4 The English period was a both a death and a birth, a question of identity through time, of new and old languages.

  • 'Reforming Academicians', Sculptors of the Royal Academy of Arts, C
    ‘Reforming Academicians’, Sculptors of the Royal Academy of Arts, c.1948-1959 by Melanie Veasey Doctoral Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy of Loughborough University, September 2018. © Melanie Veasey 2018. For Martin The virtue of the Royal Academy today is that it is a body of men freer than many from the insidious pressures of fashion, who stand somewhat apart from the new and already too powerful ‘establishment’.1 John Rothenstein (1966) 1 Rothenstein, John. Brave Day Hideous Night. London: Hamish Hamilton Ltd., 1966, 216. Abstract Page 7 Abstract Post-war sculpture created by members of the Royal Academy of Arts was seemingly marginalised by Keynesian state patronage which privileged a new generation of avant-garde sculptors. This thesis considers whether selected Academicians (Siegfried Charoux, Frank Dobson, Maurice Lambert, Alfred Machin, John Skeaping and Charles Wheeler) variously engaged with pedagogy, community, exhibition practice and sculpture for the state, to access ascendant state patronage. Chapter One, ‘The Post-war Expansion of State Patronage’, investigates the existing and shifting parameters of patronage of the visual arts and specifically analyses how this was manifest through innovative temporary sculpture exhibitions. Chapter Two, ‘The Royal Academy Sculpture School’, examines the reasons why the Academicians maintained a conventional fine arts programme of study, in contrast to that of industrial design imposed by Government upon state art institutions for reasons of economic contribution. This chapter also analyses the role of the art-Master including the influence of émigré teachers, prospects for women sculpture students and the post-war scarcity of resources which inspired the use of new materials and techniques.

    Ben Uri PRESS RELEASE: For immediate release: 09 December 2020 ​ ​ Important Marie-Louise von Motesiczky painting acquired by Ben Uri Gallery and Museum Marie-Louise von Motesiczky, Circus Scene, 1964 ​ ​ Oil on canvas 53.6 x 90.3 cm (21 x 35 1/2 in). © Marie-Louise von Motesiczky Trust. All rights reserved Purchased at Chiswick Auctions, 4 December 2020 Ben Uri has acquired at a rare sale an important late career painting by Viennese-Jewish émigrée artist Marie-Louise von Motesiczky (1906 Vienna, Austria – 1996 London, England). Circus Scene ​ (1964) is one of only a handful of works offered for sale from the collection of the Marie-Louise von Motesiczky Trust, the first time a group of her paintings has been presented at auction. Her work has been previously exhibited at Ben Uri in Forced Journeys: Artists in Exile in Britain, c. 1933-45 ​ (2009–10) and Out of Austria (2018), but this is the first example of her work to enter the Ben Uri ​ ​ Collection. It will be shown in the next exhibition of New Acquisitions and Long-term Loans at Ben Uri Gallery in 2021, alongside other recent important acquisitions by Georg Ehrlich and Peter Howson, among others. About the painting: This dramatically lit, complex and arresting composition was inspired by a ​ circus performance attended by the artist and is loosely based on three photographs taken at the time (now in the Motesiczky Archive at Tate). During her years in England, the influence of Motesiczky’s early mentor Max Beckmann gave way to that of Oskar Kokoschka, apparent in the looser, freer brushwork and softer, less angular figures.

  • Post-War Immigrants in Austria
    PANEL 1: Memory and identity Melanie Dejnega (University of Bielefeld, Germany) Post-war immigrants in Austria: identity and belonging in life story interviews By the end of the Second World War, more than one million refugees came to Austria, of which about half a million stayed. Their background and wartime experiences were as varying as could be. Some of them were survivors of the Holocaust or of forced labor, others were members of German speaking minorities having been expelled from South-Eastern and Eastern Europe. However, all of them share the experience of integration into Austrian postwar-society. The situation they faced in Austria was difficult, particularly for those, who did not speak German. These “first immigrants of the Second Republic” who are still alive have been living in Austria for more than sixty years so far. In my paper I will analyze several life story interviews conducted with representatives of this group: I will focus on the constructions of identity and senses of belonging as they are reflected in narratives of the life story by introducing and applying a narratological method. Hence my paper elucidates not only concepts of identity and belonging of post-war immigrants in Austria, but also evaluates, to which extent narratological methods can contribute to analyze life story interviews.

  • Structure, Network, Discourse Anatomy of an Artists Association
    Structure, Network, Discourse Anatomy of an Artists Association Maximilian Kaiser With its program the Hagenbund helped to shape Vienna’s cultural life for nearly forty years. In that time the artists union averaged between twenty-two and seventy-one regular members (fig. 1) – as compared with the Künstlerhaus and the Secession, a rather manageable number. In its strategic orientation, however, the Hagenbund clearly differed from the other associations, since it placed more importance on its corresponding members who did not live in Vienna. They provided the basis for contacts with other artists and artists groups and thus brought outside stimuli to Vienna. Having the Zedlitzhalle as an exhibition space made it possible for the union to design an indepen- dent program. This is ultimately what lent the Hagenbund its rank and position among the three major Viennese art organizations. Moreover, it also served as the cornerstone for a system of ex- changes with which the group could engage in exhibitions on a national and international level, and many of its guests became corresponding members after participating in its shows. Artists groups invited to Vienna made it possible for the Hagenbund to present itself in their home cities in return. The union essentially supported itself with the entrance fees paid by exhibition visitors, public sub- sidies, donations from private individuals, members’ annual dues, and a percentage of the sale prices of works of art. Its economic survival was ultimately dependent in large part on its program and its variety. Against this background, and because of the complexity of the subject, a study using the network analysis method suggested itself as a way of obtaining an understanding of the mechanisms at work behind this system.1 Art-historical Network Analysis Simply put, a network describes the social relationships between people.
