Berlin. The National Gallery of Germany is the first museum in the world to acquire and exhibit the Paris modernists: Manet, Monet, Renoir, Rodin. One man dares this venture, Hugo von Tschudi. Against the German Emperor, against conservative social factions, against all efforts to block him. A moment only and the entire world stretches out in front of him, and Berlin becomes the world. From his Berlin Palace, Wilhelm II looks out in hatred at this new director of the National Gallery, at the colourful smudges of the Impressionists' new paintings and at the French. This hatred that will continue to swell, fuelled by the Emperor's favourite painter, Anton von Werner. Around the corner at Pariser Platz lives Max Liebermann, who stands by Tschudi. The great artist of Berlin, Menzel, depicts his own universe – in a space seemingly beyond the factionalism of the art world – and yet is their own hidden secret. Great industrialists, financiers, politicians, shoelace sellers - Tschudi is always in their midst, Tschudi, the very tall man with wolf disease eating into his face, who walks unstoppably and unmistakably through the streets, the salons and the whispers of an awakening city. His dark eyes burn out of the mask made for him, which from now on is to be caressed by a Spanish noblewoman.

  • Final Program and Abstracts
    Final Program and Abstracts Sponsored by the SIAM Activity Group on Optimization The SIAM Activity Group on Optimization fosters the development of optimization theory, methods, and software -- and in particular the development and analysis of efficient and effective methods, as well as their implementation in high-quality software. It provides and encourages an environment for interaction among applied mathematicians, computer scientists, engineers, scientists, and others active in optimization. In addition to endorsing various optimization meetings, this activity group organizes the triennial SIAM Conference on Optimization, awards the SIAG/Optimization Prize, and sponsors minisymposia at the annual meeting and other SIAM conferences. The activity group maintains a wiki, a membership directory, and an electronic discussion group in which members can participate, and also publishes a newsletter - SIAG/OPT News and Views.
