Hungary Between the Wars: a Photographic Portrait Hungary Between the Wars: A Photographic Portrait P é t e r B a k i The Thomas Walther Collection at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, contains thirty-two photographs by eight Hungarian or Hungarian-born photographers: George Kepes (György Kepes), István Kerny, André Kertész (Andor Kertész), Imre Kinszki, László Moholy-Nagy, Martin Munkácsi (Márton Munkácsi), Gyula Pap, and József Pécsi. All of these photographers were important artists in the interwar period, both in Hungary and internationally. Several monographs have already been published in English on the better-known photographers, and a large part of their work is to be found outside Hungary (particularly the oeuvres of Kepes, Kertész, Moholy-Nagy, and Munkácsi). Therefore, it is often easier to research these photogra- phers in the major museums of Western Europe and North America. This essay focuses on the period prior to emigra- tion, investigating the artistic and social milieus of the photographers while they were still working in Hungary. It also seeks to clarify some of the data pertaining to the photo- graphs in the Walther Collection and to offer insights, based on primary sources, of the photos’ origins. In the early years of the twentieth century, Budapest was the venue for several photography exhibitions that greatly influenced public taste and drew people’s attention to the medium. The international photography exhibition that opened in 1910 at the Műcsarnok (Art hall) in Budapest exemplifies the manner in which Hungarian photographers sought to shape public taste. This exhibition demonstrated for the first time in Hungary that photography could achieve broad artistic recognition and that art critics were prepared to accept it as an artistic medium.1 The new century saw the establishment of Hungary’s first amateur photography clubs, which in many cases supported artistic progress in opposition to the conservatism of professional photog- raphers and studio owners. However, relative to other countries in Central Europe, photography clubs were rather late to develop in Hungary. Moreover, their members were often drawn from the aristocracy and influenced by German culture. The outdated aesthetic ideals of the clubs tended to put off the young photographers of the era. Indeed, Kertész, Munkácsi, and Pécsi kept their distance. World War I resulted in a fundamental shift in Hungarian photography. After the war, Hungarian photog- raphers struggled to reintegrate themselves into the mainstream of international photography. In October 1918, fig. 1 André Kertész. Magda Förstner. 1926.

The first was announced in the third issue graphic approach during the years spent in the village of Szigetbecse, when he had taken photographs using a tripod, and with an ironic, humorous twist. However, this particular image is noteworthy for the fact that — unlike most of the other contestants — Kertész made no effort to show the hor- rors of war. In the end, his picture came ninth among the ten that received an award.5 In September 1925, Kertész, thirty years old, moved to Paris against his mother’s wishes. Soon after his arrival in the French capital, he changed his name to André. Concerning this name change, Kertész wrote the following: “Andor is the name given on my birth certificate, but my wife always calls me Andris, while my brothers and friends call me Bandi. In Paris I automatically began using the French version of my name — André. And I now think this is the name I shall die with.”6 It was during his first years in Paris that Kertész made a series of pictures featuring cabaret performer Magda Förstner. Two photographs from this series are in the Walther Collection: Magda Förstner (fig. 1) and Magda, Mme Beöthy, M. Beöthy, and Unknown Guest, Paris (MoMA 1732.2001). There has been a debate about the dating of Kertész’s pictures of Förstner, the most famous of which, Satiric Dancer (fig. 2), was taken in the studio of sculptor István Beöthy. Contrary to the findings of previous research- ers and to the recollection of Kertész, the photos of Förstner appear to have been all taken in 1927. First, we have docu- mentary evidence that Förstner took part in two events in Hungary: on October 23, 1926, a performance of Új Föld estek (New Earth evenings) directed by Ödön Palasovszky and, on December 2, 1928, an evening of literary readings by Lajos Kassák at the Vigadó Concert Hall in Budapest — between these events, however, she performed in Paris.7 fig. 2 André Kertész.

  • Hungary: the Assault on the Historical Memory of The
    HUNGARY: THE ASSAULT ON THE HISTORICAL MEMORY OF THE HOLOCAUST Randolph L. Braham Memoria est thesaurus omnium rerum et custos (Memory is the treasury and guardian of all things) Cicero THE LAUNCHING OF THE CAMPAIGN The Communist Era As in many other countries in Nazi-dominated Europe, in Hungary, the assault on the historical integrity of the Holocaust began before the war had come to an end. While many thousands of Hungarian Jews still were lingering in concentration camps, those Jews liberated by the Red Army, including those of Budapest, soon were warned not to seek any advantages as a consequence of their suffering. This time the campaign was launched from the left. The Communists and their allies, who also had been persecuted by the Nazis, were engaged in a political struggle for the acquisition of state power. To acquire the support of those Christian masses who remained intoxicated with anti-Semitism, and with many of those in possession of stolen and/or “legally” allocated Jewish-owned property, leftist leaders were among the first to 1 use the method of “generalization” in their attack on the facticity and specificity of the Holocaust. Claiming that the events that had befallen the Jews were part and parcel of the catastrophe that had engulfed most Europeans during the Second World War, they called upon the survivors to give up any particularist claims and participate instead in the building of a new “egalitarian” society. As early as late March 1945, József Darvas, the noted populist writer and leader of the National Peasant

  • Une Exposition De Photographie Française À New-York En 1... 1988
    UNE EXPOSITION DE PHOTOGRAPHIE FRANCAISE A NEW YORK EN 1948 du 21 septembre au 21 novembre 1988 En 1948, Louis Stettner secondé par Willy Ronis, rendit visite" "aux meilleurs photographes français du moment" pour faire avec eux une sélection de leurs travaux en vue d'une présentation dans, les nouveaux locaux de la "Photo League" New Yorkaise. Cette exposition retrouvée intacte et présentée ici comprend 106 photographies de douze auteurs. Elle avait été préfacée par Beaumont Newhall, le célèbre historien américain de la photographie, sous le titre de "Chasseurs d'Images". Ce texte, qui exprime certaines réticences doit être cité intégralement : "Les photographes qui traquent leurs sujets dans les rues, sur les boulevards, dans les cafés, les studios, les parcs ou les squares, dans les villages, les cours de ferme ou les champs, partout, en un mot, où l'on peut regarder vivre les hommes dans leurs diverses variétés, sont appelés en français "chasseurs d'images". C'est un terme bien adapté, et que l'anglais devrait adopter; il souligne ce que ces images ont de particulier et il marque la différence existant entre ces photographes et ceux qui demeurent confiné dans leur studio. La centaine de photographies réunies par Louis Stettner à Paris pour la "Ligue des Photographes" et présentées dans ses nouvelles galeries provient de ces "chasseurs d'images", elles ont une fraîcheur et une spontanéité qui raviront les spectateurs. On ne peut s'attendre qu'à des soupirs de nostalgie car rien n'y manque: les vieux toits en tuile et les forêts de cheminées, la Seine et ses quais, les rues pavées, les cafés, les boutiques et leurs habitués.

    PHOTOACTIVISM: POLITICAL ICONOGRAPHY IN FRANCE, 1944-1968 Nir Avissar Tel Aviv, Israel Master of Arts, Tel Aviv University, 2008 Bachelor of Arts. Tel Aviv University, 2005 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Virginia July, 2016 © 2016 Nir Avissar Abstract The aim of this dissertation is to provide a critical history of French reportage photography in the decades following the Second World War, beginning with the Liberation in 1944 and ending in May ’68. During the Trente Glorieuses, reportage photography became an integral part of the media, which operated as the central platform for engaging the public in political discourse. My research explores how, during this era of mass communication, the photographic medium participated in the nation’s political life in concrete historical circumstances. In the course of this investigation, I inspect both the material, thematic, and formal strategies photographers employed to produce images in different political contexts, and the publication history of their works (who published their images, in what format, and for what purposes). The dissertation thus examines the role reportage photography played in promoting political discourse in France by visually engaging the most critical historical processes the nation was undergoing: modernization, democratization, and decolonization. At the same time, it also analyzes the reciprocal impact that changing political climate had on reportage photography. Specifically, it provides an historical account of the multiple causes that effected during the 1960s the displacement of humanist photography by photojournalism as the medium’s prominent current.

  • Croatian Latin Writers - an International Nationalist Phenomenon in a Socialist Republic Neven Jovanović
    Croatian Latin Writers - an International Nationalist Phenomenon in a Socialist Republic Neven Jovanović This is a sketch of the history of reception of Croatian Neo-Latin literature in Croatia (and Yugoslavia) from the end of the World War Two until the late 70's. The Neo-Latin literature – literary use of Latin language from the times of Petrarch up to the present day – is in itself already a kind of reception; during the Early Modern period, Neo-Latin authors refashioned ancient themes, forms, and literary devices to express their own thoughts or achieve their own purposes. For a number of political and cultural reasons, Croatia – similarly to other countries of East Central Europe, such as Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland – has produced a rich corpus of writings in Latin. The corpus extends diachronically from the 10th until the 20th century. Quantitatively, until the middle of the 18th century Croatian authors have published in print twice as many texts in Latin than in Croatian (the ratio is roughly 6000:3000).1 Such extent and continuity make the Neo-Latin corpus a notable research theme in Croatian literary history.2 The corpus was, indeed, granted a certain restricted place already from the beginnings of modern literary scholarship in the 1870s and 1880s until the Second World War. The influential older histories of Croatian literature devoted dutiful paragraphs, or entire chapters, to Neo-Latin authors and works.3 These authors and works were, however, treated with an apparent reserve. They lacked an essential building block of romantically perceived national identity – the national language.

ABSTRACT This thesis is the first in-depth study of female photographers’ images of themselves, with their cameras, working in Weimar Berlin. A focus on three self-portraits by women at the heart of the so-called ‘New Photography’, will allow insight into the importance of the self- portrait genre for female photographers, who sought to establish themselves in this rapidly developing field. The photographers Lotte Jacobi (1896-1990), Eva Besnyö (1910-2003) and Marianne Breslauer (1909-2001) have diverse photographic oeuvres yet each produced an occupational self-portrait whilst in Berlin between 1929 and 1933.
