The Arabesque from Kant to Comics The Arabesque from Kant to Comics The Arabesque from Kant to Comics tracks the life and afterlife of the arabesque in its surprising transformation from an iconoclastic literary theory of early German Romanticism to aesthetic experimentation in both avant-garde art and popular culture. Its explosive growth in popularity was followed by an inevitable taming as arabesques became staples in book illustration, poetry publications, and even the decoration of printed scores. The subversive potential of the arabesque was preserved in one of its most surprising offspring, the comic strip: born at the moment when the cholera pandemic first swept through Europe, the comic translated the arabesque’s rank growth into unnerving lawlessness and sequences of contagious visual slapstick. Focusing roughly on the period between 1780 and 1880, this book illuminates the intersecting histories of avant-garde theories of writing, visual culture, and even the disciplinary origins of art history. In the process, it explores media history and intermediality, social networks and cultural transfer, as well as the rise of new and nontraditional art forms. This book will be of particular interest to scholars of art history, intellectual history, European art, aesthetics, book illustration, material culture, reproduction, comics, and German history.

  • The Art History of Handbooks and Anachronic Icons
    Issue No. 4/2020 1842 – The Art History of Handbooks and Anachronic Icons Dan Karlholm, Professor of Art History, Södertörn University, Stockholm Also published in Susanna Pettersson (ed.), Inspiration – Iconic Works. Ateneum Publications Vol. 132. Helsinki: Finnish National Gallery / Ateneum Art Museum, 2020. Transl. Bettina Schultz, 87–96 On 18 October 1842 the Greek temple high above the Bavarian river bed was completed. Floating by on the Danube you can lift your gaze and see what looks like a sparkling white version of the Parthenon temple on the Acropolis in Athens. The aim of Ludwig I of Bavaria in having it built was to create a worthy space for the German spirit, founded on the German- speaking countries’ linguistic community in the wake of the humiliating war against France. Its architect Leo von Klenze (1784–1864), who also designed the Glyptothek and Alte Pinakothek in Munich, wanted to let the outer grandeur of this monument, this Walhalla outside Regensburg, mirror its inner, spiritual greatness1 – Doric temple on the outside, the home of the Old Norse gods by name, and on the inside a memorial dedicated to German intellectuals. Initially, around 170 neoclassical marble busts lined the walls but the number has increased over time and continues to increase.2 A monument, memorial, heathen temple, as well as a kind of deifying museum for dead white Germans. The reason why this ‘hall of fame’ was received with mixed feelings was probably above all aesthetic. Something felt wrong with this pastiche, even for many of those who believed that the Germanic spirit was based on the Greek.

    CATTEDRA PER LA TEOLOGIA DEL POPOLO DI DIO PRESSO LA PONTIFICIA UNIVERSITÀ LATERANENSE QUESTIONS THAT PAINTINGS POSE—1 BY BRUNO ALBER Rabbi Jesus on the Run In 2017 a Jewish friend gave me a book as a present: "Behold the Man: Jesus in Israeli Art" (a book that accompanied the exhibition of the same title in the Israel Museum, Jerusalem). He knows of my iconographic passion, especially for images that deal with the relationship between Jews and Christians. In this book of images and commentaries, I found this deeply disconcerting picture by Samuel Hirszen- berg entitled: "The Eternal Jew" of 1899. Fig. 1: “The eternal Jew,” 1899, (343 x 293 cm), Jerusalem, Israel Museum https://paintingvalley.com/the-wandering-jew-painting#the-wandering-jew-painting-9.jpg. © Bruno Alber, Munich, 2019 1 CATTEDRACATTEDRA PER LLAA TEOLOGITEOLOGIAA DEL POPOLO DI DIO CATTEDRA PER LA TEOLOGIA DEL POPOLO DI DIO To my shame, I must confess that I was not aware of either the painter or the pic- ture. Which in turn casts a light on how large the Blind Spot in German perception still is, despite … With this oil painting we wish to open a small cycle, with the intention of illuminat- ing a smouldering wound on the body of the Church. For only in perceiving and looking unsparingly at a catastrophic injury, can the first step to healing be taken. What does the picture show us, painted in the form and size of an altarpiece? At first inspection we find a hardly decipherable chaos. The observer is confronted with an unfathomable grove full of oversized crosses, the ground covered with those slain who lie in their blood.

  • WILHELM VON KAULBACH — PEINTRE PHILOSOPHE UND MODERN PAINTER Zu Kaulbachs Weltgeschichtszyklus Im Berliner Neuen Museum KAULBA
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Gethmann-Siefert, Annemarie (Hrsg.): Welt und Wirkung von Hegels Ästhetik (Hegel-Studien : Beiheft ; 27), Bonn 1986, S. 117-138 WERNER BUSCH (BOCHUM) WILHELM VON KAULBACH — PEINTRE PHILOSOPHE UND MODERN PAINTER Zu Kaulbachs Weltgeschichtszyklus im Berliner Neuen Museum KAULBACHS Wandbilder im Obergeschoß des Treppenhauses des Berliner Neuen Museums gehören zu den großen Freskounternehmungen des 19. Jahrhunderts. Die Zeitgenossen haben sie je nach Standpunkt bewundert oder kritisiert, in jedem Falle aber haben sie sich intensiv mit den Bildern und ihrer Konzeption auseinandergesetzt. Uns ist derartige Kunst ausgespro­ chen fremd geworden, es fehlt uns vollkommen der Schlüssel zu ihrem Verständnis. Gemeinhin pflegen wir sie abzutun, indem wir ihr hohles Pathos vorwerfen. Andererseits hat in der deutschen Kunstgeschichte die Kunst des deutschen 19. Jahrhunderts durchaus Renaissance. Die reichlich vorhandenen Primärquellen werden mit zweierlei Zielsetzung durchforstet. Von positivistischem Standpunkt aus wird ein Bild der deutschen Kunstent­ wicklung entworfen; KAULBACH bekommt seinen Platz in der Geschichte der Münchener Kunst und in der Geschichte der Historienmalerei, er wird zwischen CORNELIUS und PILOTY verankert, in ein Verhältnis gesetzt zur Düs­ seldorfer Malerschule. Von historisch-kritischem Standpunkt aus werden die restaurativen Tendenzen einer derartigen historischen Geschichtsmale­ rei hervorgehoben. Das eine Mal interessiert mehr die Form, das andere Mal mehr der Inhalt, beide Male wird die Darstellung mit einer Flut von häufig genug identischem historisch-faktischen Material gepolstert. Was in beiden Fällen verabsäumt wird, ist eine Analyse der Struktur dieser Werke. Es wird nicht versucht darzustellen, in welcher Form in der Struktur der Fresken geschichtliche Erfahrung aufgehoben ist, inwieweit sie in ihrer Erscheinung etwas vom Kunstproblem ihrer Zeit preisgeben.

A leading expert on Edvard Munch, Dieter Buchhart came up with an inspirational exhibition concept that he had had in mind for a long time: Masters of Modernism: Peder Balke, Edvard Munch, Per Kirkeby. Based on the philosophies of Aristotle, Kant and Hegel on the subject of art, it has been acknowledged for centuries that art history has been a history of form rather than of material. Works of art in general, and paintings in particular, display a distinct form that has been “liberated from the scaffolding of mere materiality.”1 The fact that materiality has been strictly subjugated to the form is a point of view that modern art has largely overruled.

  • Bavarian’: Art Into Design in Nineteenth Century Munich
    Meaningful, entertaining, popular and ‘Bavarian’: art into design in nineteenth century Munich Stefan Muthesius Figure 1 15 March 1998 Introduction The long trajectory of this article is a set of designs which some Munich artists created during the second half of the nineteenth century and which carry the adjective Bavarian. By extension, the adjective is also used for all other artefacts found in the region, all those which are held to be authentic. To begin with, Bavarianism is a curious, and in some ways even a paradoxical phenomenon. To the Bavarians themselves it is abundantly clear what it entails. To the rest of the German tribes it constitutes a kind of other within their self, a special version of Germanness that is loved but not taken seriously. For all those outside Germany, the stereotype can be a confusing one: firstly, do ‘Bavarian’ and ‘Germanic’ not mean the same, personified, say, by the stolid beer-swilling Lederhosen-clad male? (Figure 1) Secondly, among other sights, ‘Bavaria’ also conjures up images of the Journal of Art Historiography Number 11 December 2014 Stefan Muthesius Meaningful, entertaining, popular and ‘Bavarian’: art into design in nineteenth century Munich Alps. Why and how, many would ask, should one make significant distinctions between an Austrian, a Tyrolese, or a Swiss Alpine culture, and add a separate Bavarian one to it? Yet none of these labelling problems worried the devoted early Munich protagonists who feature in this article, neither have they really troubled anybody else since then. Forming part of ‘Germany’, the stereotype of the province of Bavaria was, and is, a non-political one and to anyone from outside the region it belongs almost exclusively to the sphere of entertainment and tourism.

Thank you to Professor Jay Geller for agreeing to read my paper, and for directing me to unconsidered sources. I am grateful to Professor Leonard Folgarait for guidance with the reading of images and for encouragement to trust my own eyes.
