    „One-sidedly Artistic“ Georg Kolbe in the Nazi Era By Ursel Berger 0 One of the most discussed topics concerning Georg Kolbe involves his work and his stance during the Nazi era. These questions have also been at the core of all my research on Kolbe and I have frequently dealt with them in a variety of publications 1 and lectures. Kolbe’s early work and his artistic output from the nineteen twenties are admired and respected. Today, however, a widely held position asserts that his later works lack their innovative power. This view, which I also ascribe to, was not held by most of Kolbe’s contemporaries. In order to comprehend the position of this sculptor as well as his overall historical legacy, it is necessary, indeed crucial, to examine his œuvre from the Nazi era. It is an issue that also extends over and beyond the scope of a single artistic existence and poses the overriding question concerning the role of the artist in a dictatorship. Georg Kolbe was born in 1877 and died in 1947. He lived through 70 years of German history, a time characterized by the gravest of political developments, catastrophes and turning points. He grew up in the German Empire, celebrating his first artistic successes around 1910. While still quite young, he was active (with an artistic mission) in World War I. He enjoyed his greatest successes in the Weimar Republic, especially in the latter half of the nineteen twenties—between hyperinflation and the Great Depression. He was 56 years old when the Nazis came to power in 1933 and 68 years old when World War II ended in 1945.

  • KARL SCHMIDT-ROTTLUFF German / Alemán, 1884–1976
    KARL SCHMIDT-ROTTLUFF German / Alemán, 1884–1976 Devotion Woodcut, 1912 Schmidt-Rotluff was one of the founding members ofDie Brücke (The Bridge) in Dresden in 1905, along with Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, and Fritz Bleyl, and joined by Emil Nolde and Max Pechstein. The group disbanded in 1913, largely due to their varying styles and independent moves to Berlin, but each remained true to their rejection of European academic painting and conventions in favor of exploring the vitality and directness of non-Western art forms, particularly West African masks and Oceanic art, as well as revitalization of the pre-Renaissance tradition of German woodcuts. Devoción Xilografía, 1912 Schmidt-Rottluff fue uno de los miembros fundadores de Die Brücke (El puente) en Dresde en 1905, junto con Erich Heckel, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner y Fritz Bleyl, grupo al que se unieron luego Emil Nolde y Max Pechstein. El grupo se disolvió en 1913, en gran parte debido a la evolución de sus estilos y a los traslados individuales de los artistas a Berlín, pero cada uno de ellos permaneció fiel al rechazo de la pintura y las convenciones academicistas europeas, en favor de la exploración de la vitalidad y la franqueza de formas artísticas no occidentales, especialmente las máscaras de África occidental y el arte de Oceanía, así como de la revitalización de la xilografía alemana de tradición prerrenacentista. Museum purchase through the Earle W. Grant Acquisition Fund, 1975.37 KARL SCHMIDT-ROTTLUFF German / Alemán, 1884–1976 Head of a Woman Woodcut, 1909 “I know that I have no program, only the unaccountable longing to grasp what I see and feel, and to find the purest means of expressing it.” Studying Japanese techniques of woodcuts, as well as the techniques of Albrecht Dürer, Paul Gauguin, and Edvard Munch, Schmidt-Rottluff produced powerful images, evoking intense psychological states through the flattening of form and retention of traces of roughly hewn wood blocks.

  • Questioning German Expressionism: Nazi Reception and Contradiction in the Art of Käthe Kollwitz
    Questioning German Expressionism: Nazi Reception and Contradiction in the Art of Käthe Kollwitz Madeline Ullrich Dr. Juliet Bellow Department of Art History General University Honors Spring 2014 My research is a study of Käthe Kollwitz's reception by the Nazi regime from 1933-1945 rather than one that focuses on her artistic production. Despite remaining a practicing artist up to her death in 1945, few art historians correlate her career with significant political events of the 1930s and 40s, such as the rise of the Third Reich. Relegated a “degenerate” artist by Hitler, Kollwitz’s art was initially included Degenerate Exhibition of 1937; however, her work was quickly removed from this derogatory spectacle. In fact, the Nazis even appropriated her work for their own propaganda. Hence, my project is defined by a single term: contradictions. The inconsistent treatment of “degenerate” artists reflects contradictions in a variety of realms: Nazi ideology, the artistic movement of German Expressionism as a whole, and gender. Exploring these contradictions not only reveals more about Kollwitz at the end of her career, but also speaks to her position as a German artist in contemporary art historical discourse. Ullrich 1 Berlin, 1941. Picture a small, poorly lit apartment, cluttered with items one would see in the studio of an artist: clay, drop cloths, modeling blocks, and the like. This is the home of the renowned German artist Käthe Kollwitz, which also became her studio in 1940. When Otto Nagel, a close friend and fellow artist of Kollwitz, came to visit her in this modest apartment the following year, he found the usually calm and reserved Kollwitz beside herself with rage.

  • Anxious States: Expressionism from Gauguin to Oliveira December 6, 2017-May 27, 2018 Mills College Art Museum, Back Gallery*
    Image: Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Portrait of the Artist's Wife, 1922. Woodcut print on paper. Anxious States: Expressionism from Gauguin to Oliveira December 6, 2017-May 27, 2018 Mills College Art Museum, Back Gallery* Featuring works from the Mills College Art Museum’s collection, Anxious States follows the evolution of Expressionism as an artistic response to features of modernity—social anxiety, disruptive technologies, intractable wars—across a range of time periods and cultures. Expressionism describes an aesthetic style that developed from feelings of uncertainty, dread, and alienation that accompanied the industrialization of the 20th century. The works included in this exhibition can be read as political as well as emotional reactions to a rapidly changing world. The artists featured in Anxious States challenge the norms of what is visually appealing. Anxious States includes examples of woodblock prints, lithographs, drawing, etchings and engravings by some of the progenitors of German Expressionism including founding members of Neue Sachlichkeit (New ObJectivists), Die Brücke (The Bridge) and Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), as well as successors within the Symbolist and Bay Area Figurative movements. Linked by their stylistic qualities—angular and agitated lines, high contrast colors, primitivist appropriation—the featured artists produce visually jarring images that evoke a sense of inner chaos, trauma, and angst. Before and during World War II, Mills College played an important role in the promotion and preservation of German Expressionism and Bauhaus artworks. Beginning in 1935, MCAM’s director and distinguished art historian Alfred Neumeyer used his extensive network to introduce important and sometimes controversial European artists to Bay Area audiences.

  • Käthe Kollwitz: a Life in Art
    KÄTHE KOLLWITZ: A LIFE IN ART By Seán Allan Writing in 1937, the radical German dramatist Ernst Toller observed: “If ever an artist can be called an artist of the people, it is Käthe Kollwitz.”1 Kollwitz’s early work—above all her series of etchings and lithographs depicting the Silesian weavers’ uprising in the early nineteenth century (Ein Weberaufstand, Weaver’s Revolt, 1893-97) and the suffering of the German peasants during the wars of Reformation (Bauernkrieg, The Peasant War, 1901-08)—make her a pivotal figure in the history of German art in the early twentieth century. However, the works of Kollwitz (1867-1945)—like those of her near contemporary, the German Expressionist Ernst Barlach (1870-1938), whom she so admired—have always proved unsettling for those who seek to exploit it for crude ideological purposes. Although Kollwitz’s life and work were celebrated in a number of East German DEFA documentaries and newsreels from the late 1940s on, Ralf Kirsten’s film, Käthe Kollwitz – Bilder eines Lebens (Käthe Kollwitz: Images of a Life), released in April 1987, just two years before the • A 2016 DVD Release by the DEFA Film Library • A 2016 DVD Release by the DEFA GDR’s collapse, serves as a reminder of just how provocative her oeuvre remained even long after her death in 1945. Indeed the enduring quality of Kollwitz’s art and its capacity to transcend the ideological divisions of the Cold War were a key factor in the installation of her Pietà (Mutter mit dem toten Sohn, Mother with Her Dead Son, 1937-39) as the centerpiece of the Neue Wache, the remodeled Central Memorial of the Federal Republic of Germany for the Victims of War and Dictatorship in post-unification Berlin.

There was @nse enthusiasm on the part of the open minded and alert students of modern art and man those who disliked the exhibition as a whole felt that it was very valuable as a stimilant to American artists and collectors* As is the case in Germany, French painting has too en dominated the native art* The German exhibition proved to the American public that re was a very powerful and individual national expression in Europe outside of Paris* On the *hole the sculptor* were more admired than the painters probably because their k was more conventional and more international in character* Kolbe,has long been popular America and the work of Fiorl and sin tenia also well nown* 3arlacht Belling and Marcks re comparatively new and each warn a group of strong adherents* General reaction to the nters was interesting and rather unexpected* Beckmann uho was superbly represented came 1 with a greatly enhanced reputation* Unfortunately it was possible to obtain only three jd examples of Kokoschkavs work so that he drew comparatively little comment although sev- il of the more discerning amateurs felt that his "woman with a Parrot" from the Bernard ihler Collection was perhaps the finest painting in the Exhibition* Marc's reputation not augmented although several of his most famous paintings including the "Bed Horses" I "Mandrill" and the "Apes" were included in the Exhibition and won great popular esteem.
