ALFRED KUBIN Leitmeritz/Böhmen 1877 - 1959 Zwickledt bei Wernstein am Inn ORIENTAL BURIAL PLACE, c. 1910 Ink and watercolor on paper, 10.2 x 13.6 inch (260 x 345 mm) Signed (lower right): AKubin With a dedication written below the image: für Wolfgang Gurlitt, auf der Stätte des Lebens v/s A Kubin Verso: Karl Russ etw. 20.1.1968 Provenance Collection of Wolfgang Gurlitt. Collection Berggruen, Paris. W&K - Wienerroither & Kohlbacher, Vienna (2014). The scenes in this work appear to be embedded in a grid, in which Kubin transports the viewer into a fantastical Oriental world. Recalling the twists and turns of the fairytales in the “Arabian Nights,” the story is shown divided into separate parts, its characters seemingly controlled by an external force. Kubin has filled the entire surface in the manner of a horror vacui. Evenly distributed colors and the labyrinthine, seemingly unreal connections between the various envisaged places give the imagery a planar effect and recall the ornamental patterns on an Oriental carpet. These stylistic traits, the characteristic elongated figures, and the agitated lines all indicate that this work was drawn in around 1910. During these years Alfred Kubin was in close contact with Paul Klee, as repeated visits, photographs, and surviving letters document. Not only that, the two artists’ works also reveal a mutual esteem and a “tentative” influence. Although Kubin always declined teaching at an art school, his colleagues from Der Blaue Reiter, now working at Bauhaus, plied him with invitations, until he finally relented many years later, agreeing to a small presentation at Dessau in 1932.

Hermine Klimt Catalogue raisonné Strobl Cat. rais. no. 285 Provenance Serge Sabarsky Gallery, New York; Shepherd Gallery, New York; Galerie Ariadne, Vienna; Private collection, Germany; W&K - Wienerroither & Kohlbacher, Vienna (2012). Exhibition - Gustav Klimt, Galerie Arnoldi-Livie, Munich 1972, cat. no. 11. As Alice Strobl discovered, this delicate study of a woman in classical dress and playing music was a preparatory work for an 1896 allegory of secular and sacred music. This watercolour was originally in the Albertina but was lost after 1920 together with two relevant sketches and there are no known illustrations of these works.1 However, a series of small sketches on the verso of several figure studies demonstrates Klimt’s thoughts about these two personifications.2 Secular music appears as a classical, robed figure playing a cithara, while a frontal figure crowned by a halo embodies sacred music. In this study, Klimt is concentrating on the hands playing music and the introverted sidelong gaze; only the outlines of the instrument are indicated. One of the characteristics of this Symbolist phase in his work is the magical way in which the figure shines out against the dark hatched background. In contrast to his innovative allegories Junius and Skulptur, both also drawn for the series Allegorien, Neue Folge in 1896, the missing work Secular and Sacred Music was never published. Klimt explored the subject of a figure playing the cithara on a number of occasions, leading up to ‘Poetry’ in the Beethoven Frieze (1901–02).

  • 1 1 December 2009 DRAFT Jonathan Petropoulos Bridges from the Reich: the Importance of Émigré Art Dealers As Reflecte
    Working Paper--Draft 1 December 2009 DRAFT Jonathan Petropoulos Bridges from the Reich: The Importance of Émigré Art Dealers as Reflected in the Case Studies Of Curt Valentin and Otto Kallir-Nirenstein Please permit me to begin with some reflections on my own work on art plunderers in the Third Reich. Back in 1995, I wrote an article about Kajetan Mühlmann titled, “The Importance of the Second Rank.” 1 In this article, I argued that while earlier scholars had completed the pioneering work on the major Nazi leaders, it was now the particular task of our generation to examine the careers of the figures who implemented the regime’s criminal policies. I detailed how in the realm of art plundering, many of the Handlanger had evaded meaningful justice, and how Datenschutz and archival laws in Europe and the United States had prevented historians from reaching a true understanding of these second-rank figures: their roles in the looting bureaucracy, their precise operational strategies, and perhaps most interestingly, their complex motivations. While we have made significant progress with this project in the past decade (and the Austrians, in particular deserve great credit for the research and restitution work accomplished since the 1998 Austrian Restitution Law), there is still much that we do not know. Many American museums still keep their curatorial files closed—despite protestations from researchers (myself included)—and there are records in European archives that are still not accessible.2 In light of the recent international conference on Holocaust-era cultural property in Prague and the resulting Terezin Declaration, as well as the Obama Administration’s appointment of Stuart Eizenstat as the point person regarding these issues, I am cautiously optimistic.

  • Surreal Visual Humor and Poster
    Fine Arts Status : Review ISSN: 1308 7290 (NWSAFA) Received: January 2016 ID: 2016.11.2.D0176 Accepted: April 2016 Doğan Arslan Istanbul Medeniyet University, [email protected], İstanbul-Turkey http://dx.doi.org/10.12739/NWSA.2016.11.2.D0176 HUMOR AND CRITICISM IN EUROPEAN ART ABSTRACT This article focused on the works of Bosh, Brughel, Archimboldo, Gillray, Grandville, Schön and Kubin, lived during and after the Renaissance, whose works contain humor and criticism. Although these artists lived in from different cultures and societies, their common tendencies were humor and criticism in their works. Due to the conditions of the period where these artists lived in, their artistic technic and style were different from each other, which effected humor and criticism in the works too. Analyzes and comments in this article are expected to provide information regarding the humor and criticism of today’s Europe. This research will indicate solid information regarding humor and tradition of criticism in Europe through comparisons and comments on the works of the artists. It is believed that, this research is considered to be useful for academicians, students, artists and readers who interested in humour and criticism in Europe. Keywords: Humour, Criticism, Bosch, Gillray, Grandville AVRUPA SANATINDA MİZAH VE ELEŞTİRİ ÖZ Bu makale, Avrupa Rönesans sanatı dönemi ve sonrasında yaşamış Bosch, Brueghel, Archimboldo, Gillray, Grandville, Schön ve Kubin gibi önemli sanatçıların çalışmalarında görülen mizah ve eleştiri üzerine kurgulanmıştır. Bahsedilen sanatçılar farklı toplum ve kültürde yaşamış olmasına rağmen, çalışmalarında ortak eğilim mizah ve eleştiriydi. Sanatçıların bulundukları dönemin şartları gereği çalışmalarındaki farklı teknik ve stiller, doğal olarak mizah ve eleştiriyi de etkilemiştir.

  • ALFRED KUBIN 1877 Leitmeritz/Bohemia - Zwickledt/Upper Austria 1959
    LE CLAIRE KUNST SEIT 1982 ALFRED KUBIN 1877 Leitmeritz/Bohemia - Zwickledt/Upper Austria 1959 Mann mit abgeschnittener Nase Pen and black ink, wash and spray, watercolour and colour crayon on firm wove paper; c.1904-7. Signed lower right: Kubin. Inscribed in pencil at the lower left: Kopf mit abgeschnittener Nase. Annotated on the verso: Mein Werk Abb. 30 327 x 253 mm LITERATURE: Alfred Kubin, Dämonen und Nachtgesichte, Dresden 1926, fig. 30 EXHIBITION: Alfred Kubin, Kunstmuseum Winterthur 1986, no. 115, repr. p.115 This early drawing immediately evokes a sinister vision of terrifying intensity – a characteristically Kubinesque depiction of the human face. The head appears to be mummified and a gaping void indicates where the nose once was. The sparse hair with its receding hairline accentuates the outline of the mask-like face which has the strange shimmer of a fleshless skull. The drawing is loaded with undertones of death. Alfred Kubin makes frequent reference to his experience of death in his autobiography.1 His mother died when he was a boy and her early death undoubtedly left an indelible psychological legacy. He made his first drawings at about that time. Thematically, these early sheets show the emergence of a tendency towards exaggeration and a liking for visionary fantasy.2 A tremendous curiosity for eerie events guided his early art.3 The origins of his artistic development and later literary career date from a very early age.4 Kubin regarded this densely worked autonomous drawing as so important that he reproduced it in his early publication Dämonen und Nachtgesichte.

  • Orlowski, Hans
    Hans Otto Orlowski, Die Stolze (The Proud One) Insterburg 1894 - 1967 Berlin oil and mixed media on wood 21 ¼ by 18 inches (54 by 45.7 cm) monogramed and dated upper left: ‘1931’ provenance: Collection Habbel, Gut Weisham; sale Ketterer Kunst GmbH, Munich, May 14, 2004, no. 69; Private Collection, South Germany exhibited: Hans Orlowski, Galerie Wolfgang Gurlitt, Berlin, 1934. literature: Fritz Schwarzenberger, Werkverzeichnis Hans Orlowski, Berlin, 1972, no. 33. note: The painter and print-maker Hans Otto Orlowski (fig. 1) was born in Insterburg near Köningsburg in East Prussia. His father was a tailor and moved the family to Köningsberg, Potsdam, and then Charlottenburg. Orlowski first studied at the Academy of Decorative Arts in Berlin from 1911 to 1915. But the First World War interrupted his studies and he served briefly as a soldier in Serbia until he was wounded. He was then employed as a draftsman in the War Ministry, but also began producing his first independent prints. In 1918 he returned to art school and became a member of the Berlin Secession, a progressive group whose members included, among others, Lovis Corinth, Käthe Kollwitz, and Emil Nolde. Orlowski graduated in 1919, and in 1921 he began teaching at the Decorative Arts Academy in Charlottenberg, where he remained until 1945. In 1924 he visited Paris, and his style evolved away from Expressionism to a more realistic, even classical, manner applied primarily to nudes. The artist’s first one man exhibition, which included the present painting, was held in Berlin in 1934 at the Wolfgang Gurlitt Gallery, which was renowned for being one of the first in Germany to show Matisse, Kokoschka, Slevogt, Corinth, and Kubin.

Their very particular kind of intensely colorful, expressive paint- ing, using a dense formal idiom that was moving toward abstraction, was based on a unique spiritual approach that opened up completely new possibilities for expression, ranging in style from a height- ened realism to abstraction.

    4527_BlauerReiter_180211_ENG_rl.indd I 06.07.11 09:16 INVITATION It is often difÞ cult for art-lovers seeking an introduction to a subject to Þ nd the right approach amid the bewildering array of literature available. Read on; you’ll not be bored! The aim of this book is to provide an entertaining but well-found- ed introduction to the world of the artists’ group the Blue Rider, which ß ourished in German in the early years of the twentieth century. The Þ rst seven chapters lead readers through the exciting period from 1908 until the First World War and let them witness the birth of the group. The views of the artists are described as well as their often complicated personal relationships with each other. The most important works are introduced and their signiÞ cance examined. In the last chapter there is, literally, much to discover, including the places in Bavaria where the members of the Blue Rider left their traces. The museums where you can admire the works of Kandinsky & Co. will be described, as will, as far as is possible today, the locations where it all happened. Where did the artists live; where were their studios; and where was the famous salon of Marianne von Werefkin, in which the artists drank, smoked and spent long nights in animated discussion? My sincere thanks go to the great authority on the Blue Rider, Dr. Annegret Hoberg of the Lenbachhaus in Munich, who encour- aged me to embark on this project and to whom I am grateful for important advice.

    !1 of !3 The Salt Mine´s Art Treasures English translation of article by Ulla Arnell at: http://ueforum.se/17/175/175varld1.html When World War II ended, the outside world was amazed by the art found in the salt mines of Altaussee, Austria. The bombs placed at the entrance to the mine never came to detonate and the art could be rescued. Ulla Arnell has visited Altaussee and met a strong exhibition in its right environment. On the way from Linz, the city that Hitler called his hometown and wanted to make Europe´s and the whole world´s cultural centre, I pass Attersee, one of Austria´s turquoise clear alp lakes where Klint spent his summers painting the sparkling landscape, and Mahler took inspiration for his second and third symphony. The journey continues towards Salzkammergut and turns by the popular spa and resort of Bad Ischl, where the Habsburgers had their summer residence during the18th century, then a meeting place for the superpowers´ diplomatic deliberations. It was here, after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914, that Emperor Franz Josef signed the declaration of war with Serbia, which triggered World War I. The road becomes increasingly curvy and winds up and down the outskirts of the Austrian Alps. The landscape is beautiful and idyllic as in the Sound of Music, green sloping meadows and houses with flower arrangements on their balconies and porches. Everyone who knows the Nazis’ art thefts knows that Altaussee is a symbolically loaded place with a very special relation to art, to the Third Reich, to war, to ethics and to morals.
