    K E W E N I G Sean Scully “Four Days” 4 September to 7 November 2015 Opening on 4 September from 6 to 9 pm; the artist will be present. Opening hours: Monday to Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm “Four Days” is the first solo exhibition of the internationally acclaimed artist Sean Scully (b. in Dublin in 1945) at Kewenig in Berlin. New oil paintings by the Irish-American artist will be on view, as well as a selection of works on paper and one sculpture. Among the pieces executed especially for Berlin is the four-part painting Four Days after which the exhibition was named, Landline Blue, and an impressive triptych titled Arles-Abend-Vincent 2 – all works dating from 2015. Sean Scully is one of the most prominent contemporary exponents of abstract painting. He stands for an absolute, non-figurative style decisively distinguished by color. Pictorial compositions consisting of grid-like blocks or beam-like stripes are characteristic of his œuvre, as is the haptic quality resulting from the forceful brushstroke and impasto application of the paint and accounting for the works’ strong physical presence. Rather than simple canvas, the artist prefers to paint on higher-quality materials such as linen or aluminum, which lend the surfaces greater suppleness and heighten the radiance of the colors. Assembled from squares, rectangles and stripes, Scully’s motifs are based on basic geometric elements that are brought to life, however, by intense emotional impetus and the energy-charged painting manner. In their rectilinear structure and abstraction, his compositions thus exhibit not only conceptual stringency and order but also a high degree of emotionality.

Included in the exhibition are Rubens' The Rape of the Daughters of Leucippus, Rembrandt's Risen Christ, Titian's Vanity, El Greco's The Disrobing of Christ, and Fragonard's Girl with a Dog as well as important works by Guardi, Tintoretto, Brueghel, Van Dyck, Ruisdael, Elsheimer, Murillo, Velazouez, Poussin, and Boucher. masterworks from Munich ... page two "An extraordinary loan has made this exhibition possible," said J. Carter Brown, director of the National Gallery. "The Alte Pinakothek has been extremely generous in offering works by old masters from its collection illustrating its wealth of northern and southern baroque painting. The quality level is superb. The American public is in for a rare treat." The collection was started by members of the ruling Wittelsbach family, Duke Wilhelm IV of Bavaria (ruled 1508-1550) and his wife Jacobaea of Baden, and augmented by subsequent family members, including Maximilian I (ruled 1597-1651), a passionate collector of Durers, and Max Emanuel (ruled 1679-1726).

Some months earlier, Jo- seph Goebbels, the propaganda minister, had announced a ban on art criticism, as “a legacy of the Jewish influence.” “Degenerate Art” was a blockbuster, far outdrawing a show that had opened the day before, a short walk away, in a new edifice, dear to Hitler, called the House of German Art. “The Great German Art Exhibition” had been planned to demonstrate a triumphant new spirit in the nation’s high culture, but the preponderance of academic hackery in the work produced for it came as a rankling disappointment to Hitler, whose taste was blinkered but not blind. By official count, more than two million visitors thronged “Degen- erate Art” during its four-month run in Munich. Little is recorded of what they thought, but the American critic A. I. Philpot remarked, in the Boston Globe, that “there are probably plenty of people—art lovers—in Boston who will side with Hitler in this particular purge.” Germany had no monopoly on ou might not expect much drama the works.

  • Volume 7. Nazi Germany, 1933-1945 Hitler's Speech at the Opening Of
    Volume 7. Nazi Germany, 1933-1945 Hitler’s Speech at the Opening of the House of German Art in Munich (July 18, 1937) On the day before the start of the “Degenerate Art” exhibition, Hitler concurrently opened the House of German Art in Munich, a new museum designed by architect Paul Ludwig Troost (1873-1934), and its first show, the “Great German Art Exhibition.” The House of German Art was built on the former site of the Glass Palace, a grandly conceived iron and glass exhibition hall dating from the mid-nineteenth century. The Glass Palace had been destroyed in a fire, reportedly the result of arson, on June 6, 1931. At the time of its destruction, the Glass Palace housed an extensive exhibition of German Romantic paintings by masters Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840), Phillipp Otto Runge (1777-1810), and others. In his opening speech, Hitler referred to the destruction of both the Glass Palace and the works exhibited therein. He mourned the loss of paintings that he perceived as genuinely “German,” the point of comparison being the modern artworks that Hitler reviled and disparaged as Bolshevist, Jewish, foreign, etc. For Hitler, the rehabilitation of Germany in the wake of 1918 was not just a matter of politics or economics but also, and even primarily, a matter of culture and art. Hitler saw the construction of the House of German Art and the organization of the “Great German Art Exhibition” as an opportunity for the Third Reich to define a new concept for a great and truly “German” art.

  • Modern Art and Politics in Prewar Germany
    Stephanie Barron, “Modern Art and Politics in Prewar Germany,” in Barron (ed.), Degenerate Art: The Fate of the Avant-Garde in Nazi Germany (Los Angeles: Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1991): 9-23. In 1937 the National Socialists staged the most virulent attack ever mounted against modern art with the opening on July 19 in Munich of the Entartete Kunst (Degenerate art) exhibition, in which were brought together more than 650 important paintings, sculptures, prints, and books that had until a few weeks earlier been in the possession of thirty-two German public museum collections. The works were assembled for the purpose of clarifying for the German public by defamation and derision exactly what type of modern art was unacceptable to the Reich, and thus “un-German.” During the four months Entartete Kunst was on view in Munich it attracted more than two million visitors, over the next three years it traveled throughout Germany and Austria and was seen by nearly one million more On most days twenty thousand visitors passed through the exhibition, which was free of charge; records state that on one SundayAugust 2, 1937-thirty- six thousand people saw it.1 The popularity of Entartete Kunst has never been matched by any other exhibition of modern art. According to newspaper accounts, five times as many people visited Entartete Kunst as saw the Grosse Deutsche Kunstaussiellung (Great German art exhibition), an equally large presentation of Nazi-approved art that had opened on the preceding day to inaugurate Munich's Haus der Deutschen Kunst (House of German art), the first official building erected by the National Socialists.
