International Yearbook of Aesthetics Volume 19, 2017 RETRACING THE PAST Historical continuity in aesthetics from a global perspective Edited by Zoltán Somhegyi International Association for Aesthetics Association Internationale d’Esthétique RETRACING THE PAST Historical continuity in aesthetics from a global perspective Edited by Zoltán Somhegyi The selection of essays in the 19th Yearbook of the International Association for Aesthetics aims to analyse the phenomenon of retracing the past, i.e. of identifying the signs, details and processes of the creative re-interpretation of long-lasting traditions both in actual works of art and in aesthetic thought, hence where the historical interconnectedness and the influence of earlier sources can appear.

Carl Blechen, View of the Colosseum in Rome, 1829 Oil on paper, mounted on panel, 18.7 x 31.9 cm Loan, promised gift from a private collector In 2010, as well as French, Danish and Dutch oil sketches from the estate of Carlos van Hasselt, the Fondation Custodia also acquired a group of works by Ger- man artists. Something I had never thought possible, to be able to add to these a work by Carl Blechen (1798–1840) – the most important exponent of the oil sketch from the German-speaking regions – has now come about. We owe this acquisi- tion to the immediate response of a private collector, who acted instantly when an unpublished View of the Colosseum in Rome dated 1829 came on to the market this spring (fig. 1). Prompted by enthusiasm about the initiative of expanding the collec- tion of oil sketches into an exciting and representative entity, he bought the paint- ing and loaned it to the Fondation Custodia with the intention of donating it in the DE L’ALLEMAGNE, future. : CARL BLECHEN Carl Blechen had long wanted to travel to Italy and finally set off on 6 September 1828, returning to Berlin fourteen months later. His trip released something in him. Painting en plein air led to an assurance in his brushwork and a different orientation in his art. His friend Karl Friedrich Schinkel called Blechen’s oil sketches ‘etwas promised gift Wirkliches von Kunst’, in which admiration for his faithfulness to visible reality resonates. -
ABSTRACTS Another Horizon Session 1 Asher E. Miller, Assistant
ABSTRACTS Another Horizon Session 1 Asher E. Miller, Assistant Curator, Department of European Paintings The Metropolitan Museum of Art Northerners in Italy: Interaction, Transmission, Collaboration The point of departure for this talk is the Metropolitan Museum’s holdings of early nineteenth-century paintings and oil sketches by northern European artists working in Rome and Naples. Featuring works by figures ranging from Eckersberg and Koch to Catel and Granet, as well as their younger contemporaries, the Met’s collection was formed in recent years through a combination of curatorial initiative and the passion of local private collectors: it is, therefore, still in its youth. This presentation addresses questions of interaction, transmission, and collaboration between northern artists stemming from the research and display of these pictures. Specific areas of focus include artists of various national origins looking closely at the same iconic motifs, artists learning from one another’s methods and works, and artistic partnerships, notably between Heinrich Reinhold and Johann Joachim Faber, who sketched together at Olevano Romano in the early 1820s. Jens Peter Munk, MA (History of Art) Copenhagen Life among foreign artists in Rome as seen from a Danish perspective In my monograph on Danish Golden Age painter Jørgen Roed (2013) I dedicated a chapter to the life of Danish artists in Rome at that time. I focused in detail on their living and working conditions and their interaction with the local artistic environment as well as with other foreign artists staying in the city for an extended period of time. In this paper I wish to touch on some aspects of this vast theme. -
Journal 2019 Sigmar Polke · Franz Marc Museum
KARL&FABER Journal 2019 In Exchange Sigmar Polke · Franz Marc Museum · Busch-Reisinger Museum · Richard Ziegler Dear Reader, The current issue of our journal specifically examines the exchange KARL&FABER maintains with museums and institutions. Ultimately, such insti- tutions thrive because of the people who work in these places and/or those who support them. By focusing on them, it becomes clear once more that col- lectors and institutions, dealers and auction houses all have an extremely sym- biotic relationship that is not always tension-free, but for this, always remains exciting. KARL&FABER keeps close ties with the Franz Marc Museum in Kochel am See and the Busch-Reisinger Museum in Cambridge, near Boston (USA). In our title story, you will learn what strategies their two women museum directors develop in order to achieve distinction alongside the big players. Our column “From KARL&FABER to the Museum” explains to you how a painting by Hein- rich Reinhold and a photograph by Sigmar Polke from our past auctions found their ways to the museum. What is art worth? This question persists as an evergreen: An illustrious discussion round took a stand on this topic last summer in our building. You may well be surprised when you read the summary of the new and astonishing views! We feel privileged to rely on an increasing number of new customers who entrust to us their works of art. This also leads to new sales channels as well as to a further strengthening of our Contemporary Art Department, as you can gather from the various articles in our journal. -

Very little is known about the early life of Israhel van Meckenem. His family probably came from Meckenheim near Bonn. He might have received his first artistic training with the so- called Master of the Berlin Passion who was active in the Rhine-Meuse region in 1450–70 (and whom Max Geisberg even tried to identify as Van Meckenem’s father). This is supported by 13 copies that Van Meckenem made after prints by this early “Anonymous.” However, the Master E.S. played an even more important role in the formation of the young artist. He worked in the Upper Rhine valley, most likely in Strasbourg, and his importance for the development of the relatively new medium of engraving can hardly be overestimated. -
The Gissing Journal
The Gissing Journal Volume XLIX, Number 2, April 2013 “More than most men am I dependent on sympathy to bring out the best that is in me” Commonplace Book ___________________________________________ Two Unpublished Gissing Letters in the Beinecke Library PIERRE COUSTILLAS Unpublished Gissing letters have rarely turned up on the market in recent years and it is well known that in the last few years of his life his only regular correspondents were his relatives and his two literary agents, James B. Pinker and William Morris Colles. So the present availability of two four-page letters to his old friend John Wood Shortridge, whose chaotic life remained for long imperfectly known, definitely fills a gap in our knowl- edge of Gissing’s last few months. The connection between the Wood family and Gissing’s family in Wakefield would not have deserved a mention in a detailed account of the novelist’s life had not the long arm of chance brought them close or rather closer to one another by semi-geographical, semi-artistic factors. The extra- ordinary story of their meeting is so striking that Gissing turned it at once to good account in his novel The Emancipated, published by George Bentley in 1890. When Gissing returned from Italy in early 1890 he promptly realized that Shortridge, whose acquaintance he had made by chance in an inn within sight of Vesuvius, was practically ostracized by his English relatives. Each man’s life followed its own unpredictable course, and Gissing found it easier to relate the spiciest details of what he had observed in his new friend’s home so beautifully situated on the Sorrento peninsula than to give his family a sober idea of the unconventional world he had come across in the barely unified kingdom of Italy. -
