    „One-sidedly Artistic“ Georg Kolbe in the Nazi Era By Ursel Berger 0 One of the most discussed topics concerning Georg Kolbe involves his work and his stance during the Nazi era. These questions have also been at the core of all my research on Kolbe and I have frequently dealt with them in a variety of publications 1 and lectures. Kolbe’s early work and his artistic output from the nineteen twenties are admired and respected. Today, however, a widely held position asserts that his later works lack their innovative power. This view, which I also ascribe to, was not held by most of Kolbe’s contemporaries. In order to comprehend the position of this sculptor as well as his overall historical legacy, it is necessary, indeed crucial, to examine his œuvre from the Nazi era. It is an issue that also extends over and beyond the scope of a single artistic existence and poses the overriding question concerning the role of the artist in a dictatorship. Georg Kolbe was born in 1877 and died in 1947. He lived through 70 years of German history, a time characterized by the gravest of political developments, catastrophes and turning points. He grew up in the German Empire, celebrating his first artistic successes around 1910. While still quite young, he was active (with an artistic mission) in World War I. He enjoyed his greatest successes in the Weimar Republic, especially in the latter half of the nineteen twenties—between hyperinflation and the Great Depression. He was 56 years old when the Nazis came to power in 1933 and 68 years old when World War II ended in 1945.

  • Or Not to Be [Titled]? Art History and Its 'Well-(Un)Known' Masters
    To be [titled] or not to be [titled]? Art history and its ‘well-(un)known’ masters: introductory remarks Julia Trinkert and Reinhard Köpf When examining medieval monuments in Europe, one sooner or later encounters a series of works of art whose stylistic appearance, iconography, motifs and compositions seem to be closely related. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, these works, have led and continue to lead art historical research to interpretation attempts that are intended to describe the obvious, but not certain, connections. This is where the long art-historical methodological tradition of speculative naming begins. Perceptions that cannot be named in more detail become comprehensible through constructs of attribution to persons who can be named. The perhaps newly discovered artistic connections between individual works gain in importance, visibility and attention through the naming. This is appreciated not only by the experts but also by the press, the interested public and, not least, by potential research project sponsors. In addition, the creation of a speculative name often leads to the construction of a personal network of fictitious employees, who can apparently be distinguished hierarchically on the basis of their skills. Secondary groups of works are assigned to possible successors or pupils by style analyses. This framework therefore offers the possibility of moving further works of art into a closer or more distant context. This discussion focuses on this methodology. Scholarly discourse At the turn of the twentieth century, Wilhelm Vöge (1868-1952) and Adolph Goldschmidt (1863-1944) laid the foundations for an art history of the great continental medieval names.

  • Research on Tallinn's Dance of Death and Mai Lumiste – Questions and Possibilities in the 20Th Century*

Eesti Kunstimuuseum, Niguliste muuseum. Foto Stanislav Stepaško. Research on Tallinn’s Dance of Death and Mai Lumiste – Questions and Possibilities in the 20th Century* Krista ANDRESON The aim of this article is to focus on the role of Mai Lumiste in the history of researching Tallinn’s Dance of Death, her points of departure, and those of her predecessors, and their methodological bases. When speaking of Lumiste’s contribution, the emphasis has always been on the fact that her positions were based on the technical studies conducted in Moscow between 1962 and 1965, which made the style assessment and iconographic analysis of the work possible for the first time. The literature also reflects the opinion that this research in Moscow confirmed the position that had been accepted until that time, i.e. that the author of the work was Bernt Notke. The following survey focuses on which positions formulated at that time were established on the basis of technical research and which issues still remain unresolved. Tallinn’s Dance of Death (Danse macabre) is undoubtedly the most famous medieval work of art in Estonia. It is a fragment painted on canvas. It is 7.5 metres high and 1.63 metres wide, and depicts 13 figures: the narrator of the story (a preacher) * The article was completed with the help of PUT 107 grant. The author thanks Juta Keevallik for her comprehensive critique of the article.

    Heise, Carl Georg: Persönliche Erinnerungen an Aby Warburg, Wiesbaden: Harrassowitz Verlag 2005 ISBN-10: 3-447-05215-5, IX, 149 S. Reviewed by: Mark Russell The art historian Carl Georg Heise (1890-1979) - director of the Museum für Kunst und Kul- turgeschichte in Lübeck (1920-33) and of the Kunsthalle in Hamburg (1945-55) - is perhaps best known to scholars as the author of a memoir on his mentor, Aby Warburg (1866-1929). His first and"life-determining" meeting with Warburg occurred in 1908 and initiated a student-teacher rela- tionship and friendship which lasted until the latter's death in 1929. (10) Heise committed his memories of this relationship to paper in the spring of 1945 while trapped in the embattled city of Berlin. The manuscript was privately published in New York in 1947 and disseminated amongst a small circle of family, friends and colleagues. A slightly amended second edition was published in 1959 by the Gesellschaft der Bücherfreunde zu Hamburg. Heise is frank about the shortcomings of his text. He emphasizes that it was written in extreme circumstances, without access to books or notes, and that there are holes in his memory. His brief account of Warburg's scholarship is qualified by the disclaimer that he was not a follower of his mentor's methods; indeed, his knowledge of Warburg's research interests was the result of observing them "only from the periphery." (22) Consequently, the book is more a sketch of War- burg's character than it is an insight into the particulars of his thinking. Furthermore, Heise's account of Warburg's life is of limited chronological scope: it is the years before the First World War - when Heise was closest to Warburg - that constitutes the book's focus.

  • Reconsidering New Objectivity: Albert Renger-Patzsch and Die
    RECONSIDERING NEW OBJECTIVITY: ALBERT RENGER-PATZSCH AND DIE WELT IST SCHÖN by MARGARET E. HANKEL (Under the Direction of NELL ANDREW) ABSTRACT In December of 1928, the Munich-based publisher, Kurt Wolff released a book with a new concept: a collection of one-hundred black and white photographs by Albert Renger-Patzsch. Titled Die Welt ist schön, the book presented a remarkable diversity of subjects visually unified by Renger-Patzsch’s straight-forward aesthetic. While widely praised at the time of its release, the book exists in relative obscurity today. Its legacy was cemented by the negative criticism it received in two of Walter Benjamin’s essays, “Little History of Photography” (1931) and “The Author as Producer” (1934). This paper reexamines the book in within the context of its reception, reconsidering the book’s legacy and its ties to the New Objectivity movement in Weimar.

  • Freundschaft, Deren Rätselvollen Urgrund Auszuloten Nur Durch Eine Künstlerische Metapher Möglich Ist": Zu Einem Doppelportrait Von Oskar Kokoschka
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Buttler, Karen ; Krämer, Felix (Hrsgg.): Jacobs-Weg : auf den Spuren eines Kunsthistorikers ; Hommage an den Forscherfreund und Lehrer Fritz Jacobs zum 70. Geburtstag, Weimar 2007, S. 235-254 Thomas Röske Freundschaft, deren rätselvollen Urgrund auszuloten nur durch eine künstlerische Metapher möglich ist": Zu einem Doppelportrait von Oskar Kokoschka Im Mai 1919 portraitierte Oskar Kokoschka (1886-1980) in Dresden Carl Georg Heise (1890-1979) und Hans Mardersteig (1892-1977). Er malte zwei Doppelbildnisse der jungen Männer, von denen das eine (Abb. 1) das andere (Abb. 2) vorbereitete. Es sind ungewöhn­ liche Bilder, die für sich schon Rätsel aufgeben; erst recht verwundert die spätere Idee Ko­ koschkas, das zweite Bildnis mit einem Selbstportrait zu kombinieren. Der Aufsatz geht zunächst auf die Bilder selbst und die Bedeutung ihrer Darstellung ein. Dann befasst er sich mit dem Umgang der Dargestellten, vor allem Heises, mit den Bildern ­ und wie Kokoschka sich in diese Rezeption einmischt. Die beiden Doppelbildnisse Das frühere Doppelbildnis, mit seinen 74 x 100 cm genau halb so groß wie das spätere, hält mit lockeren Pinselstrichen die Männer in Halbfigur auf abstrakt wirkendem Grund fest; sie sitzen ­ das verrät vor allem das leichte Vorbeugen des links dargestellten Mardersteig (Abb. 1). Die Körper sind ein wenig zu klein für die Köpfe. Einander leicht zugekehrt sind sie sich nahe, die Unterarme berühren sich. Mardersteig blickt ruhig und etwas einfältig auf den Betrachter. Die Züge des sprechenden Heise wirken dagegen bewegt bis zur Entgleisung: Seine Augen gehen in verschiedene Richtungen, seine Brauen ergeben keine einheitliche Mi­ mik. Auch durch die vor die Brust gehobenen Hände, die an einen unterbrochenen Bewe­ gungsimpuls denken lassen, und durch den unruhigen Umriß von eckigem Kopf und Körper ist Heise gegensätzlich charakterisiert zu Mardersteig, der die Arme hängen läßt und dessen schmale Gestalt leicht mit einigen gebogenen Linien umrissen werden kann.

FOREWORD Dear Cyclists, Discovering Europe on a bicycle – the Rhine Cycle Route makes it possible. It runs from the Alps to a North Sea beach and on its way links Switzerland, France, Germany and the Netherlands. This guide will point the way. Within the framework of the EU-funded “Demarrage” project, the Rhine Cycle Route has been trans- formed into a top tourism product. For the first time, the whole course has been signposted from the source to the mouth. Simply follow the EuroVelo15 symbol. The Rhine Cycle Route is also the first long distance cycle path to be certified in accordance with a new European standard. Testers belonging to the German ADFC cyclists organisation and the European Cyclists Federation have examined the whole course and evaluated it in accordance with a variety of criteria. This guide is another result of the European cooperation along the Rhine Cycle Route. We have broken up the 1233-kilometre course up into 13 sections and put together cycle-friendly accom- modation, bike stations, tourist information and sightseeing attractions – the basic package for an unforgettable cycle touring holiday.

  • Friedrich Overbeck's 'Portrait'
    AUF DEN SPUREN DER NAZARENER: Re-reading Vittoria Caldoni: Friedrich Overbeck’s ‘Portrait’ in the Neue Pinakothek by Charles Davis One of the indubitable masterpieces of the somewhat uneven collection of paintings displayed in the Neue Pinakothek in Munich is Johann Friedrich Overbeck’s seemingly perfect Vittoria Caldoni. During a recent Sunday morning visit to the museum, undertaken with the intention of looking at the Nazarene paintings in the collection, the portrait of Vittoria Caldoni exercised its curious fascination, and, as pictures often do, it appeared increasingly puzzling upon prolonged inspection. Only much later did I come across Keith Andrews’s conclusion to his brief commentary upon this painting in his seminal book of 1964, The Nazarenes, a work instrumental in reviving a more widespread interest in these long-neglected and often disparaged painters. Of Overbeck’s Vittoria Caldoni, the author writes: “The frontal disposition draws the spectator into the picture and forces him, intentionally, to seek a meaning beyond mere portrait representation” (pp. 113-114). Nowhere does Andrews enlarge upon what this ‘meaning’ might be, but nevertheless his observation, if inadvertently, corresponds to the agendum of the present essay. Although a book published in 2011 by the Akademie Verlag in Berlin describes Andrews as a ‘Scottish scholar’ and a ‘non-German art historian’, it might be remembered that he was born as Kurt Aufrichtig in Hamburg on 11 October 1920. 2 Friedrich Overbeck, Vittoria Caldoni, 1821. Neue Pinakothek, München Overbeck’s Vittoria Caldoni is universally referred to as her portrait, but, paradoxically, in his representation the artist is at pains to attribute to the young girl from Albano whom he portrays a social rôle in the world of work which she, in reality, did not perform.

  • Teil IV5 Balthasar Neumann
    Einlage zur Arbeitsmappe Teil IV/5 – Balthasar Neumann Hans-Karl Boltek Burghausen, im November 1978 Landeskulturwart Bayern Elisabethstr. 28 8263 Burghausen __________________________________________ Unsere Egerländer Vergangenheit war reich an großen Männern. Ich denke dabei vor allem an unsere großen Heimatdichter Josef Hofmann, Josef Urban, Rudolf Sabathil, Adolf Horner und viele andere, die uns vor allem in der Mundart viele köstliche Geschichten, Gedichte und Histörchen hinterlassen haben, ich denke an die Musiker Fran Lutz, Josef Czerny, die unsere alten Volkslieder vertont haben, ich denke an den großen Erzgebirgsdichter und Sänger Anton Günther oder an den großen Volkskundler und Schriftsteller Alois John, um nur einige zu nennen. Solche und andere Namen aus der Vergangenheit unserer Egerländer Heimat sind nicht nur uns Egerländern bekannt. Doch wir hatten nicht nur auf diesem Gebiete bekannt und berühmte Größen aufzuweisen. Auch auf dem Gebiete der Baukunst ist unser Egerland mit bekannten und berühmten Männern gesegnet. Ein ganz großer und bekannter Mann ist ohne Zweifel Balthasar Neumann. Er gehörte zu den größten und volkstümlichsten Gestalten und Gestaltern der deutschen Kunst. Er, der geborene Architekt, war in der Blütezeit des Barocks mit unerschöpflicher Arbeitskraft tätig. Er hat sich mit der Würzburger Residenz und mit den Kirchen zu Vierzehnheiligen und Neresheim ein bleibendes Denkmal gesetzt. Als siebentes von acht Kindern des Tuchmachers Hans Christoph Neumann kam Johann Balthasar Neumann Ende Januar 1687 in der Schiffgasse in Eger auf die Welt und wurde am 30 Januar 1687 in der St. Niklaskirche getauft. Seine Großväter Andreas Neumann und Hieronymus Grassold lebten schon als Tuchmacher in der Heimatstadt. Der Vater versah nebenbei den Torhüterdienst am Schifftor und die Sorge war ein ständiger Gast in der Familie.
