Rich Associate Professor of Art History Craig Zabel Head of the Department of Art History Michael Bernhard Associate Professor of Political Science *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT From Activism to Kinetism: Modernist Spaces in Hungarian Art, 1918-1930. Budapest – Vienna – Berlin investigates modernist art created in Central Europe of that period, as it responded to the shock effects of modernity. In this endeavor it takes artists directly or indirectly associated with the MA (“Today,” 1916-1925) Hungarian artistic and literary circle and periodical as paradigmatic of this response. From the loose association of artists and literary men, connected more by their ideas than by a distinct style, I single out works by Lajos Kassák – writer, poet, artist, editor, and the main mover and guiding star of MA , – the painter Sándor Bortnyik, the polymath László Moholy- Nagy, and the designer Marcel Breuer. This exclusive selection is based on a particular agenda. First, it considers how the failure of a revolutionary reorganization of society during the Hungarian Soviet Republic (April 23 – August 1, 1919) at the end of World War I prompted the Hungarian Activists to reassess their lofty political ideals in exile and make compromises if they wanted to remain in the vanguard of modernity.

Jahrhundert Des Schicksals Fügung in die eignen Hände nehmen Künstlerinnen, Schriftstellerinnen und Musikerinnen vom 17. – 21. Jahrhundert Zum Titelbild: MILLY STEGER Mit ihrer Grenzüberschreitung in die Männerdomänen der Bildhaue- rei mit Hammer und Meißel, der Großplastik und der öffentlich finanzierten „Kunst am Bau“ hat die Bildhauerin Milly Steger wesentliche Meilensteine in der Professionalisierungsgeschichte von Künstlerinnen gesetzt. Um 1912 wurde sie zur offiziellen ‚Stadtbild- hauerin‘ von Hagen berufen, ab 1917 wirkte sie in Berlin. Im Jahr 1932 nennt Knaurs Konversationslexikon die Künstlerin exemplarisch für die Bildhauerei des 20. Jahrhunderts. Der Filmemacher Hans Cürlis widmete Milly Steger in seinem Film „Schaffende Hände – die Bildhauer“, den er 1927 drehte, eine aus- führliche Sequenz, welche die Bildhauerin beim Modellieren einer Figur zeigt. Die drei Standbilder auf dem Titel sind der gleichnami- gen Publikation zum Film entnommen.

  • German Expressionism: the Second Generation (Los Angeles: Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1988): 10-37
    Stephanie Barron, “Introduction” to Barron (ed.), German Expressionism: The Second Generation (Los Angeles: Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1988): 10-37. The notion that all the significant achievements of German Expressionism occurred before 1914 is a familiar one. Until recently most scholars and almost all exhibitions of German Expressionist work have drawn the line with the 1913 dissolution of Die Brücke (The Bridge) in Berlin or the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. Peter Selz’s pioneering study German Expressionist Painting, published in 1957, favored 1914 as a terminus as did Wolf-Dieter Dube’s Expressionism, which appeared in 1977. It is true that by 1914 personal differences had led the Brücke artists to dissolve their association, and Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) had disintegrated when Wassily Kandinsky returned from Munich to Russia and Franz Marc volunteered for war service. Other artists’ associations also broke up when their members were drafted. Thus, the outbreak of the war has provided a convenient endpoint for many historians, who see the postwar artistic activities of Ernst Barlach, Max Beckmann, Oskar Kokoschka, Kathe Kollwitz, and others as individual, not group responses and describe the 1920s as the period of developments at the Bauhaus in Weimar or of the growing popularity of Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity). The years 1915-25 have been lost, or certainly not adequately defined, as a coherent and potent, albeit brief, idealistic period in the evolution of German Expressionism. More recent scholarship, including Dube’s Expressionists and Expressionism (1983) and Donald E. Gordon’s Expressionism- Art and Idea (1987), sees the movement as surviving into the 1920s.

Design for a portfolio. Original composition in red gouache, black ink and gold metallic paint, on textured ochre leatherette, mounted on a red buckram slipcase, with inserted red buckram chemise and inner sleeve of white Bütten paper, reinforced with loose panels of cardboard. Painted panel: 368 x 275 mm. (ca. 14 1/2 x 10 3/4 inches). Slipcase: 423 x 325 mm. (ca. 16 5/8 x 12 3/4 inches). This large and majestically impressive handmade portfolio represents a variation of Buchholz’s painted wooden relief, “Roter Kreis im Goldkreis,” of 1922, of which Ingrid Weisenmayer has commented “Der Dreiklang der Farben Schwarz, Gold und Rot steigert die Wirkung der einzelnen Farben noch zusätzlich. Es ist charakteristisch, dass Buchholz, der sich so vehement von jeglicher Kunsttradition distanzieren wollte, auf mittelalterliche Traditionen zurückgreift, und diese in einen modernen Kontext stellt” (Weisenmayer, in Gassen/Mengden). Comparison might equally be made with another painted panel of 1923, Buchholz’s “Neue Tafel Nr. 70.” These and similar motifs were reprised by the artist many times, through late in his career. Slight rippling of the panel at foot; a little light rubbing, otherwise in fine, bright condition. [Berlin, n.d.]. $4,500.00 Gassen, Richard W. & Mengden, Lida von (hrsg.): Erich Buchholz.

  • German and Austrian Art of the 1920S and 1930S the Marvin and Janet Fishman Collection
    German and Austrian Art of the 1920s and 1930s The Marvin and Janet Fishman Collection The concept Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) was introduced in Germany in the 1920s to account for new developments in art after German and Austrian Impressionism and Expressionism. Gustav Friedrich Hartlaub mounted an exhibition at the Mannheim Museum in 1925 under the title Neue Art of the1920s and1930s Sachlichkeit giving the concept an official introduction into modern art in the Weimar era of Post-World War I Germany. In contrast to impressionist or abstract art, this new art was grounded in tangible reality, often rely- ing on a vocabulary previously established in nineteenth-century realism. The artists Otto Dix, George Grosz, Karl Hubbuch, Felix Nussbaum, and Christian Schad among others–all represented in the Haggerty exhibi- tion–did not flinch from showing the social ills of urban life. They cata- logued vividly war-inflicted disruptions of the social order including pover- Otto Dix (1891-1969), Sonntagsspaziergang (Sunday Outing), 1922 Will Grohmann (1887-1968), Frauen am Potsdamer Platz (Women at Postdamer ty, industrial vice, and seeds of ethnic discrimination.

Neue Sachlichkeit artists lacked utopian ideals of the Expressionists. These artists did not hope to provoke revolutionary reform of social ailments. Rather, their task was to report veristically on the actuality of life including the ugly and the vulgar. Cynicism, irony, and wit judiciously temper their otherwise somber depictions.

    y PragueAN ELBE RIV ERBerlin CRUISE aboard the Elbe Princesse • April 23–May 4, 2017 WITH Jocelyne Kolb, Professor of German Studies Dear Smith Alumnae, The Elbe River has long been an important delineator of east and west in Europe. Linking two of the most fascinating capitals of Europe—Prague and Berlin—it traverses a land filled with captivating treasures, including cosmopolitan cities and picturesque towns; terraced vineyards and lush orchards; fortress-crowned crags; and the spectacular gorges of “Saxon Switzerland.” This eight-night river cruise aboard the brand-new Elbe Princesse embraces the broad sweep of history across this region of Europe in visits to some of its most meaningful cities, towns, and monuments: Wenceslas Square, ground zero of the Velvet Revolution; the Wittenberg church where Martin Luther posted his 95 Reformation Theses; historic Jewish synagogues and cemeteries; World War II memorials; Meissen’s fine porcelain workshop; the treasures of Dresden’s Green Vault; Potsdam’s whimsical Sanssouci Palace; and Friedensreich Hundertwasser’s Green Citadel, a fine example of a unique artistic vision often compared to that of Antoni Gaudi. From Bohemia to the former East Germany, the variety of visits and views in this part of the world is rich and unique. Accompanied by Smith Professor Jocelyne Kolb, soak up the fascinating history unfolding throughout this cruise while enjoying visits to noteworthy cathedrals, magnificent palaces and gardens, and art and architectural masterpieces old and new. This cruise is co-sponsored by Harvard and Yale, and the Elbe Princesse has accommodations for only 64 guests. To ensure your place on this voyage, please call Smith Travel at (800) 225-2029 or go to http://alumnae.smith.edu/travel.
