  • The Intimate World of Lyonel Feininger
    THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART "»• * 11 WEST 53 STRUT, NEW YORK 19. N. Y. Mond^anuary 1*, 1963 TELEPHONE: CIRCLE 5-8900 PRESS PREVIEW: Monday, January Ik, I963 11 a.m. - k p.m. The Intimate World of Lyonel Feininger, an exhibition of 60 watercolors, drawings, prints and 108 toys opening at the Museum of Modern Art, Tuesday, January 15, will show a virtually unkncn aspect of the famous American artist. Known as an artist of formal achievements, Feininger is revealed in this show as a man of humor, warmth and sometimes pathos. His watercolors, drawings, prints, comic strips, toys and even letters, are peopled with creatures, real extraordinary and always human. Most of the works have been lent by the artist's widow and family and have never been shown before. The exhibition, selected by William S. Lieberman, Curator of Drawings and Prints, continues through March 12. Although hi© career was spent mostly in Germany, much of Feininger's art was inspired by memories of his childhood in New York City, where he was born in I87I and died in I956, The Second Avenue Elevated, the New York Central locomotives, the schooners, motor-sailers and steamboats in the harbor lingered long in his mind and nourished the iconography of his art. He himself wrote: "I don't paint a picture in the traditional sense. From deep within arises an almost painful urge for the realization of inner experiences, an overwhelming longir~, an unearthly nostalgia overcomes me at times to bring them to light out of the past." Such feelings for America are revealed in his thematic devotion to boats, as, seen here in some dozen compositions ranging from antique galleons to motor yachts, A similar nostalgia perhaps inspired the two comic strip serials, The Kin-der-Kids and Wee Willie Winkle's World, which he sent each week from Germany in I906 to the Chicago Sunday Tribune.

    GALERIE KARSTEN GREVE HERBERT LIST ITALIA Press kit 5, RUE DEBELLEYME F-75003 PARIS TEL +33-(0)1-42 77 19 37 FAX +33-(0)1-42 77 05 58 [email protected] GALERIE KARSTEN GREVE Herbert List, Autoportrait in a Mirror, Italy, 1955, Gelatin silver printing, Vintage, 18 x 24 cm / 7 1/8 x 9 1/2 in © Herbert List Estate, Hamburg, Germany Biography Born in 1903 to a bourgeois family in Hamburg, Herbert List’s teenage years were shaped by the fiasco of 1918, and his adulthood by Hitler’s assumption of power in 1933. Even though he was not politically active, the rise of the Third Reich stifled his daily life. Jews and homosexuals were the first targets of the regime, forcing the artist to consider himself its enemy and flee his country in 1936. His parents’ coffee trade enabled him to travel through Brazil, Mexico, El Salvador, Costa Rica and the United States, where he learned languages and opened himself to new cultures. Between the two wars, Herbert List immersed himself in the cosmopolitan culture of 1920s Germany, where Bauhaus, expressionism and Max Reinhardt’s theatre coexisted. In 1930, he met Andreas Feininger, Bauhaus master, who introduced him to the art of photography and gave him his very first piece of technical advice. He suggested him to use a Rolleiflex camera, the film of which allowed for only 12 exposures, which would make him concentrate on composition rather than on swiftness of execution. In 1937, List divided his time between Paris and London, where he met Jean Cocteau and the photographer George Hoyningen Huene respectively.

  • [email protected] Herbert List, Young Men & Still Lifes
    Press Release For Immediate Release Contact: [email protected] Herbert List, Young Men & Still Lifes June 27 through August 31, 2019 Opening Reception June 27, 7 – 9pm The Fahey/Klein Gallery is pleased to present Young Men & Still Lifes by German photographer, Herbert List --- The first exhibition of his legendary homoerotic male nudes in Los Angeles in over 25 years. List’s playful but austere, classically arranged compositions taken in Italy and Greece have become an indelible influence in modern and contemporary photography. Diary-like images of friends and still lives with found objects gave birth to a style that half a century later would influence fashion or lifestyle photography of masters like Bruce Weber or Herb Ritts. Herbert List (1903 -1975) was born into a prosperous Hamburg merchant family and began an apprenticeship at a Heidelberg coffee dealer in 1921 while studying literature and art history at Heidelberg University. During travels for the coffee business between 1924-28, the young List began to take photographs, almost without any pretensions to art. In 1930, though, his artistic leanings and connections to the European avant-garde brought him together with the American photographer Andreas Feininger, who introduced his new friend to the Rolleiflex, a more sophisticated camera that allowed a deliberate composition of images. Under the dual influence of the surrealist movement on the one hand, and of Bauhaus artists on the other, List photographed still life and his friends, developing his style. He has described his images as “composed visions where [my] arrangements try to capture the magical essence inhabiting and animating the world of appearances.” After leaving Germany in 1936 in response to the danger of Nazi police attention to his openly gay lifestyle and his Jewish heritage, he turned his hobby into a profession.
