[u.a.]: Yale University Press 2002 ISBN-10: 0-300-09219-9, X, 313 S Reviewed by: Deshmukh Marion "Berlin's Salons are irregular; there is no special exhibition hall. For some years, in fact, there has been no Salon at all. Admission is 50 centimes. It would be out of keeping to speak here of Ger- man art. With the exception of that extraordinary genius, Adolph Menzel, this art is inferior to that of France, Belgium, Holland, Italy and Spain."[1] Thus wrote Jules LaForgue, the French tutor to the Prussian Empress Augusta when he resided in Berlin at the end of the nineteenth century. His evaluation of German painting of the period has been surprisingly resilient. Michael Fried, J. R. Herbert Boone Professor of Humanities at Johns Hopkins University and author of works on 18th century French drawing, Édouard Manet, Charles Eakins and Gustave Courbet, has provided a bold, even audacious, yet convincingly original per- spective on 19th century Germany's foremost but still-obscure artist, Adolph Menzel (1815- 1905). In it, he desires not only to acknowledge that which LaForgue observed about Menzel over one hundred years ago, but Fried also wishes to recover some of the complexity of 19th century Euro- pean art more generally. Too often art historians and critics have presented simplistic dicho- tomies of French aesthetic domination and originality in contrast to German artistic inferiority and derivativeness. Like LaForgue, others of the time praised Menzel. For example, the important French critic, Edmond Duranty, wrote extensively about the artist in a series of articles detailing some of Menzel's key paintings, as Fried describes in his account (125-139).

Spirit of an Age: Nineteenth-Century Paintings from the Nationalgalerie, Berlin provides a survey of 19th-century German painting, and a history of Germany itself, through 75 of the finest works by 35 artists from the collection of the Alte Nationalgalerie (Old National Gallery), Berlin. The museum, which opened in 1876 to house the Prussian king's collection of paintings and sculpture, is currently closed for renovations as part of a larger reorganization of all Berlin's museums. In December 2001, when the museum reopens, it will display for the first time since 1939 the complete collection of work for which it was built.

  • TX 201C Course Syllabus
    Spring 2012 Professor Mary-Beth O’Brien MWF TX 201C Glitter and Doom: Cultural History of Berlin, Past and Present Glitter and Doom is a two-course learning experience combining meetings and readings on campus during the Spring 2012 semester and a field trip with lectures in Berlin in May 2012. TX201C is the classroom segment of the experience. Students do not have to register for TX 202 in order to take this course. TX 201C and TX 202 are a 4-credit experience and can count toward the German major and minor and the Cultural World requirement of the IA major and minor. Course Topic: From its humble beginnings in 1237 as a sandy patch of land and trading post on the Spree River to a postmodern metropolis filled with shimmering glass and steel facades, Berlin has continually reinvented itself. In its 775-year history, Berlin has been at the center of many of Europe’s major political, social, artistic, and scientific developments. This seminar examines Berlin’s turbulent history over the last four hundred years with special attention to those moments that exemplify the glitter and doom of the German cultural heritage. We begin with eighteenth-century Enlightenment and philosopher-king Frederick the Great, who was an accomplished flautist, commissioned Europe’s first opera house outside a royal court, promoted the grand architectural vision of Karl Friedrich Schinkel, welcomed migration from Huguenots, Scots, and Jews, developed the notion of benevolent despotism, and institutionalized Prussian militarism. The nineteenth-century was engrossed in the long path to national unity in 1871.

  • Portrait of Fraulein Hanna Maercker Watercolour and Gouache, Over an Underdrawing in Pencil
    Adolph MENZEL (Breslau 1815 - Berlin 1905) Portrait of Fraulein Hanna Maercker Watercolour and gouache, over an underdrawing in pencil. Signed and dated Menzel/ Sept. 1848 at the lower left. 221 x 180 mm. (8 3/4 x 7 1/8 in.) Between 1845 and 1847 Adolph Menzel lived at 18 Schöneberger Strasse in Berlin, where his neighbours included the family of the lawyer Karl Anton Maercker (1803-1871), director of the Berlin Criminal Court and, from 1848, Justice Minister in the brief Prussian government of Rudolf von Auerswald. Menzel became friendly with the Maerckers, and produced a number of portraits - in oil, watercolour, chalk and pastel - of members of the family. (Frau Maercker also posed for both of the main figures in Menzel’s genre painting The Interruption (The Visit), painted between 1845 and 1846 and today in the Staatliche Kunsthalle in Karlsruhe.) In the spring of 1847 the artist moved to a new address, at 43 Ritterstrasse, and while he saw less of the Maercker family, he continued to occasionally produce drawings of them, as evidenced by the present sheet - a portrait of the daughter of Karl Anton Maercker - which is dated September 1848. In 1850, the Maercker family moved to Halbertadt in Saxony-Anhalt, ending their close relationship with Menzel. This charming watercolour by Menzel is a portrait of the Maercker’s eldest daughter, Johanna (Hanna) Maercker (1839-1918), at the age of nine. Little else is known of Hanna Maercker, apart from her marriage to Julius Albert in 1857. A black chalk drawing by Menzel of the same young girl, though perhaps a year or two earlier in date, is in the collection of the Kupferstichkabinett in Berlin.

  • Volume 4. Forging an Empire: Bismarckian Germany, 1866-1890
    Volume 4. Forging an Empire: Bismarckian Germany, 1866-1890 When compared with the revolutionary excitement of 1848/49 or the horrors of trench warfare in 1914-18, the Bismarckian era can seem drab, an age of equipoise when conformity and compliance were the first duty of the citizen. Certainly, Bismarck scored stunning military and diplomatic victories between 1866 and 1871, but his later years in office have been characterized as a period of “fortification” – not exactly an exciting interpretive key either. But to look beneath the surface calm of Bismarckian Germany is to see quite a different picture, one shot through with contradictions, conflicts, and crises. Contradictions resulted from attempts both to entrench and to extend the international and constitutional agreements achieved at the time of unification. Conflict was inevitable when the effects of rapid economic, social, cultural, and political change became self-reinforcing and as a younger generation of Germans sought new challenges to match the great deeds of their fathers. Crises arose whenever Bismarck felt his authority in jeopardy. How do we assess the causes, consequences, and historical significance of all this turmoil? A preliminary hypothesis, which readers are encouraged to test against the documents and images included in this volume, is that the German Empire was forged in ways that embedded features of a modernizing economy, society, and culture within the framework of an authoritarian polity. This is not a new proposition. Moreover, it is easy to be too categorical in applying the labels “modern” and “authoritarian,” so that everything before 1866 is deemed un- modern and everything after 1890 hypermodern.

  • Der Maler Als Städter
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Dogramaci, Burcu (Hrsg.): Großstadt : Motor der Künste in der Moderne, Berlin 2010, S. 29-43 Hubertus Kohle Der Maler als Städter Adolph Menzel in Berlin Die deutsche Stadt Deutschland ist nicht nur eine verspätete Nation, sondern auch ein verspäteter städtischer Raum. Metropolen wie Paris und London sind hier unter den Bedingungen der Klein­ staaterei nicht bekannt, der Phänotyp großstädtischen Lebens, wie er sich literarisch und künstlerisch im 19. Jahrhundert niedergeschlagen hat, ebenso wenig. Berlin entwickelte sich erst im späteren 19. Jahrhundert zu einem städtischen Schmelztiegel, dann aber mit einer vielfach empfundenen und beschriebenen übermäßigen Schnelligkeit, Brutalität und Desorganisiertheit. Einige statistische Zahlen sind hier sprechend: 1871 hatten acht, 1910 dagegen 48 deutsche Städte mehr als 100.000 Einwohner; im gleichen Zeitraum stieg der Anteil der Großstädter im Deutschen Reich von knapp fünf auf deutlich über 20 %. Noch eindrücklicher ist der Vergleich, wenn man ihn für Berlin selber anstellt: Um 1850 lag die Bevölkerungszahl bei ca. 440.000 Einwohnern. Bei der Reichsgründung hatte die Stadt gut 800.000, knapp zehn Jahre später schon 1.300.000 und in der Weimarer Republik dann 4.000.000 Einwohner, das bedeutet eine Verfünffachung der Einwohnerzahl innerhalb nur eines halben Jahrhunderts, fast eine Verzehnfachung in 70 Jahren. Die im späten 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhundert vorherrschenden kulturkritischen Vorbehalte gegenüber den amoralischen, zur Dekadenz neigenden Eigenheiten städtischen Lebens mögen in dieser Doppelung - verspätete und dann beschleunigte Metropolisierung - mitbegründet liegen und die Zurückgebliebenheit deutschen Modernitätsempfindens belegen. Sie fuhren auch dazu, dass man sich um 1900 und auch schon früher in manchen Kreisen ganz massiv nach der typisch deutschen Stadt zurücksehnte, die im Mittelalter existiert haben soll und in Nürnberg ihren Inbegriff fand.

This: ’ second aspect in particular was essential in creating the negative reputation that his- °ry P^inbng began to acquire rapidly in the later decades of the 19th century: “II faut etre th Ument m°derne, ” that famous phrase of Arthur Rimbaud ’s that leading exponents of e modern period had prefigured in many variations and had subsequently taken up with § reat vigour, seems to preclude any form of artistic historicization. Nonetheless, when we study nineteenth-century definitions and practices of history pamting in greater detail, we notice that things are more complicated than that. Even such aPparently conservative phenomenon as history painting contained modern elements; ^eed, it ultimately seemed to affirm the modern rather than displaying an antagonism Wards it. I understand “the modern ” here in the sense of Reinhart Koselleck, who regarded a radical,openness towards the future and the temporalization of history as the fundamental cha:racteristics of the period under investigation. 1 The painter at the centre of my argument is ^dolph Menzel (1815-1905), (Fig.

  • Paper Instructions the Lectures on Campus Are Designed to Give You
    Paper Instructions The lectures on campus are designed to give you enough background so that you can adequately assess the art that you will see while we are in Munich. You will write two formal essays on the various works of art that characterized specific periods of German art history. You will notice as you read through this that there are five eras of art history to write about; you only have to write about two of them. Which two you write about is your decision. Both essays will be written as a separate paper of four to five pages. You will use APA citation. Instructions for APA are found on page 14. Both essays will be turned in as separate papers with separate reference lists. I would prefer that you first use the sources I gave you in class for these papers. You can use other sources in addition to those that I suggest for each essay, including web pages, but make sure they are quality sources. Remember also that Wikipedia is not a great source, although it usually has a list of really good sources at the end of its essays. Before you start writing, I would like all of you to read two samples of work that generally illustrate what you should do. The first is found in Henry Sayre, Writing About Art, 6th ed. (2009), pages 60-61. This short section provides a sample essay that an art history student wrote concerning a black-and-white photograph that is reproduced in these pages. The second is a sample entry that I wrote for Biedermeier art, and it is found below.
