The Vienna Method in Amsterdam: Peter Alma's Office for Pictorial Statistics Benjamin Benus, Wim Jansen
The Vienna Method in Amsterdam: Peter Alma’s Office for Pictorial Statistics Benjamin Benus, Wim Jansen The Dutch artist and designer, Peter Alma (see Figure 1), is today remembered for his 1939 Amstel Station murals, as well as for Downloaded from http://direct.mit.edu/desi/article-pdf/32/2/19/1715594/desi_a_00379.pdf by guest on 24 September 2021 his earlier involvement with the Cologne-based Gruppe progres- siver Künstler [Progressive Artists’ Group]. Yet Alma also pro- duced an extensive body of information graphics over the course of the 1930s. Working first in Vienna at the Gesellschafts- und Wirtschaftsmuseum [Social and Economic Museum] (GWM) and later setting up an independent design firm in Amsterdam, Alma became one of the principal Dutch practitioners and promoters of the design approach known as the “Vienna Method of Picto- rial Statistics.” To date, most accounts of this method’s history have focused on its chief inventor, Austrian social scientist Otto Figure 1 Neurath, and his principal collaborators, Germans Marie Neurath August Sander, photograph of Peter Alma, (née Reidemeister) and Gerd Arntz.1 Yet Alma’s work in pictorial late 1920s.

Willem Sandberg – Portrait of an Artist – Chapter 6
Willem Sandberg – Portrait of an Artist – Chapter 6 ARTIST ORGANISATION AND RESISTANCE It wasn’t until 1932 that I stuck my head in the life of the Dutch artists organisation. I received a request at that time to become a member of VANK, the Vereiniging voor Ambachts- en Nijverheidskunst – the Association for Trade and Industry Art. I had never heard of the VANK, but I became a member. At a certain moment, I was even an active member and held administrative offices, including a seat in the Committee for non- permanent exhibitions in the Stedelijk Museum – for VANK members and others – and in the Exhibition Committee for the Dutch department at the World Exhibition in Paris. The Chairman of the VANK was Jean-François van Royen, a master typographer and, as we always said, in his spare time secretary-general of the PTT. He was owner of the Cunera Press and that was his real work. This man had, between the two great wars, a positive influence on the whole artist community, the life of the artist association and the position of the artist. First, he had a lot of work to award via the Postal services: for designing postcards or stamps, fitting out post-offices, designing letter boxes and so on. But he extended his influence far beyond this. He had, together with his friend , the architect De Bie Leuvelink Tjeenk, a great influence on the artist association life in this country. Tjeenk was, at the time that I knew him, Chairman of the BNA, the Bond voor Nederlandse Architecten [Association for Dutch Architects]. -

On December 9, 2016, the annual Dutch Design History Society symposium was dedicated to critically reflect on the production of such a centen- nial and design canonisation in general. While De Stijl’s implied beginnings (1917) are relatively uncontroversial, the proposition that Dutch design originates from 1992 is much more so. This par- ticular construction of ‘Dutch design’ as an avant-garde phenomenon that started in the 1990s with Droog design, and is today centred around the Design Academy Eindhoven, is a clear example of design canonisation at work. In this process, what comes to count as (good) design and the knowledge that surrounds it is produced, selectively, in line with specific (cultural, political, economic, etc.) agendas. -

Why? To start nothing less than an artistic revolution. NTheir goal was to leave the past – WWII and its destruction – behind, and everything they had been taught that art should be. They “The artists wanted to forge ahead with a new kind of art that was primal, emotive, bold, and above shared the all, experimental. Their movement, called Cobra, after the idea that cities from which they came – Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam – was a fierce, wild, art should untamed and joyous one. Its goal was to help create a utopian society of the future built on be as free playfulness, spontaneity, collaboration and ‘free thought’. as possible” The movement burned like a furious fire for only three years, from 1948 to 1951, and then died out almost as quickly, which is Page 26: why many people have not heard of it.

Figurative Constructivism, Pictorial Statistics, and the Group of Progressive Artists, C. 1920-1939
ABSTRACT Title of Document: FIGURATIVE CONSTRUCTIVISM, PICTORIAL STATISTICS, AND THE GROUP OF PROGRESSIVE ARTISTS, C. 1920-1939 Benjamin Benus, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Directed By: Professor Steven A. Mansbach Department of Art History and Archaeology This dissertation examines an episode of interdisciplinary collaboration in Vienna during the late 1920s and early 1930s, led by the Austrian social scientist Otto Neurath (1882-1945) and the German printmaker Gerd Arntz (1900-1988). This collaboration, which took place at Vienna’s Gesellschafts- und Wirtschaftsmuseum [Social and Economic Museum] ultimately created an international graphic sign language that would have wide-ranging applications across a variety of media and disciplines. Known as the Vienna Method of Pictorial Statistics, this graphic language was intended to communicate social and economic facts to a general audience. In making such information broadly accessible, the Vienna Method’s designers hoped to empower the public at large to take informed positions on a variety of social and political issues. Prior to and during the period of this collaboration, Arntz was a member of the Rhineland-based Gruppe progressiver Künstler [Group of Progressive Artists]. In 1929 two additional members of this group—the Dutch artist Peter Alma (1886-1969) and the Czech artist Augustin Tschinkel (1905-1983)—joined Arntz at the museum. All three artists produced prints, drawings, and paintings in an expressive mode, later classified under the rubric “figurative constructivism.” While these “free” works (as they often described them) were produced independent of the applied work at the museum, the two types of production share several key stylistic and iconographic features.
