Since the later nineteenth century there has been a steady development in the quality of posters, the result in large measure of the participation in this movement of such artists as Cheret, Manet, Toulouse-Lautrec, Bonnard, Val- lotton, Walter Crane, Millais, Beardsley, Brangwyn, and many others. Increas- ingly, serious artists and designers, both in France and England, entered this field, and since the poster is essentially a popular art and very much in the public eye, it has had and should con- tinue to have a considerable construc- on popular taste. tive influence S^trikina a V few Today many gifted painters and de- signers, both in Europe and America, are working as commercial artists, though in this country perhaps less in ^Jsria/i V jote the production of posters than in other forms of advertising. Nevertheless, es- pecially in the advertisements of many The vamp rising towards of the larger American firms, there has more recently been a distinct decline in the lower hemline . the direction of the sensational, the cheap, and the banal.

Though many posters fulfill these minimum require- 17.95. ments, often in a distressingly strident fashion, few stand up under closer ex- amination. We have tried in this group to show those which not only can bear but also deserve a second look. We hope that they may show that a strong and imaginative design, carried out with good drawing and thoughtful organiza- • Boston tion of color, is both more persuasive and more satisfying than that all too • Wellesley usual vulgarity of subject and crudeness of presentation to which we are today so L> [59] constantly subjected in so many ways. In selecting the material for this ex- hibition, the emphasis has been placed rather on interest of subject and treat- ment, with a certain amount of variety, than on historical completeness. War posters were deliberately excluded, and the group was limited to European productions as being perhaps less gen- erally known than American. Cheret, a contemporary of Toulouse- Lautrec, was the leading French poster artist toward the end of the last cen- tury, while Fouqueray attained his great- est prominence at the time of the First World War. The great German nine- teenth century romantic classicist, Arnold Boecklin, is represented by an original painting for the poster announc- ing an exhibition of his work. Stelletski, in a poster advertising an exhibition for the benefit of Russian artists in Paris, draws on the Byzantine artistic heritage of his country for a most interesting de- sign, while the other Russian poster with St. George and the Dragon shows an excellent use of a handsome inscrip- tion with results reminiscent of a page from an illuminated manuscript. The poster publicizing an exhibition for the benefit of wounded Belgian sol- diers shows something of the violence of expressiveness achieved in the best of the war posters, though its use of a symbolic figure instead of an actual scene makes it more classic in appeal and less dated in content. Fred Taylor is one of the many competent designers of English travel posters; Sennett, Brown, Angrave, and Shoesmith are others of this group. Their posters are generally representative of the good work done in England in this field dur- ing the more recent years before the last war. Richard B. K.

Prob- ably none of our other important or- chestras could have played it so well. the way I haven't heard the score all ^ through, but it's a reasonable guess that these parts reflect the character of the whole. They are almost completely im- personal, but fascinatingly theatrical in their interpretation of episodes from the great romantic tragedy. I was interested in comparing Prokofieff's approach to the theme with that of Tschaikowsky, whose fantasy overture on the same subject is one of his most gratifying works. Prokofieff's music is, as you might ex- pect, more intellectual, and it is satisfy- ing because of the way it contrasts the dramatic forces involved. It is also less moving and less noble, though ex- tremely persuasive on its own terms. The first of the four excerpts, "Mon- tagues and Capulets," is, I think, the best. A fragile dance theme, which evokes a vision of a pitiable Juliet, is threaded through heavier music pictur- ing a relentless, lumbering promenade by the heads of the two families. "Juliet the Maiden," "Dance," and "Romeo and Juliet's Grave" are the other move- ments. In the first, a light and im- petuous theme is now and then reined in by more sober and romantic music. The second is a graceful, fleet, but not entirely festive piece ; and the last, and longest, movement is grave, tragic music that eventually becomes an apotheosis of the whole story. "Romeo and Juliet" represented Prokofieff's first attempt to harness his creative instincts, after sixteen years away from Russia, to the stern artistic doctrines of the Soviet Union.

  • Johann Peter Vogel: Pfitzners Verhältnis Zu Juden Und Judentum
    Mitteilungen der Hans Pfitzner-Gesellschaft 70 (2009) 8-29 [revidierte Fassung 2011] www.pfitzner-gesellschaft.de Johann Peter Vogel PFITZNERS VERHÄLTNIS ZU JUDEN UND JUDENTUM 1. Vorbemerkungen. „Ich habe Dr. Pfitzner zur Zeit der Aufführung der ‚Rose vom Liebes- garten‘ in Wien im Hause Gustav Mahlers kennen gelernt. Es war mir immer bekannt, dass er Deutschnationaler im Sinne Richard Wagners, also mit einer kleinen antisemitischen Truebung war. Ich habe ihn in all diesen Jahren oefters gesprochen. Trotz aller uns trennenden Unter- schiede, die kuenstlerischen inbegriffen, habe ich nie das Gefuehl von Agressivitaet gehabt. Kein Wunder, dass nach dem Abwandern so vieler Musikalischer Kraefte Pfitzner unter den wenigen, die verblieben, der erstklassige war und als solcher die Anerkennung fand, die ihm frueher zu Unrecht nicht immer zum Teil geworden war. Wenn das nazistische System fuer ihn von Vorteil war, so bin ich ueberzeugt, dass er sich nie- mals dafuer gebeugt, niemals eine Konzession gemacht haette, Grausam- keiten aber sicherlich verurteilte“.1 Das schrieb Arnold Schönberg am 10.9.1947 in Los Angeles als Eidesstattliche Erklärung für das Spruch- kammerverfahren gegen Hans Pfitzner, das denn auch mit der Feststel- lung endete, Pfitzner sei „vom Gesetz nicht betroffen“. Die Erklärung Schönbergs wird gern als Gefälligkeitsschreiben gewertet, denn sie passt nicht zu dem Persönlichkeitsbild, das eine moralisierende Generation von Pfitzner als einem ‚aggressiven‘, ja ‚mörderischen Anti- semiten‘ entwirft. Warum aber Schönberg für Pfitzner, der 1926 die von Schönberg vertretene atonale Musik heftig angegriffen hat, ein so dick aufgetragenes Gefälligkeitsschreiben formuliert haben soll, wird nicht er- klärt. Der Stich gegen Pfitzner liegt in der Bemerkung, dass der unter Überarbeitete und erweiterte Fassung eines am 2.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. Tlie sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.
