  • ARCHIVES F. Shirley Prouty Johannes Kirchmayer Research
    ARCHIVES F. Shirley Prouty Johannes Kirchmayer Research Collection 1873-2015 8.5 linear ft. Acquisition Number: 2018-04 Acquisition: Gift of Florence Shirley Prouty. Access: Access to the collection is unrestricted. Copyright: Copyright to this collection is held by the Cranbrook Educational Community. Photographs: Retained with the collection. Negatives removed to cold storage. Audio/Video: Retained with the collection. Processing: Laura MacNewman, April 2019 HISTORY Shirley Prouty is the great great-niece of the woodcarver, Johannes (John) Kirchmayer. Having promised her grandmother that she would write a book about her great great- uncle, she spent many years researching his life, family history, and artworks. Upon reviewing the news clippings that her grandmother had collected, she realized that the scope of the project would be broad. Her research really started in 1994 when her son visited Detroit and was directed to the Cranbrook Educational Community by the Detroit Institute of Arts. Kirchmayer’s artworks are predominantly ecclesiastical wood carvings, though he also worked with stone and ivory. His work can be seen in many churches and cathedrals in the United States, with some further afield. Prouty’s research is published in her book, Johannes Kirchmayer, 1860-1930: master carver from Germany’s passion play village to America’s finest sanctuaries, which includes a biography of Kirchmayer and a detailed catalog of his work. Johannes Baptist Kirchmayr was born in Oberammergau, Bavaria (now Germany), on March 31, 1860, to John Ev. Lang and Theresia Kirchmayr. Born out of wedlock, Lang acknowledged Johannes as his son, though he grew up in the household of his grandfather and thus assumed the Kirchmayr name.
